About Us
321 Insight was created by Dr. Will Henson and Dr. Skip Greenwood based on their desire to fill a critical hole in the education system. Both had been consulting with school districts for many years and were often called on to help with especially challenging student situations that needed special care. Time and again, Dr. Henson and Dr. Greenwood encountered smart, committed paraeducators who weren’t properly trained to handle difficult circumstances. If paraeducators had received formal “Sit and Get” PD, it was rarely effective nor memorable. They felt a calling to create simple, practical training that could easily fit into a paraeducator’s day to build skills to bolster success in interacting with students. 321 Insight’s training is entirely based on best practices that come from hands-on experience in real classrooms.
Dr. Henson and Dr. Greenwood have since been joined by Alia Jackson, company President. Early in Alia’s career, she was a K-12 education PD provider, which gave her keen insight into the user experience for training delivery. Alia excels at taking complex academic and scientific concepts and breaking them into simple, cogent lessons that can be easily understood and retained by educators of all backgrounds and abilities. After several years in education implementation, sales, and marketing roles, Alia saw what Dr. Henson and Dr. Greenwood were building and was thrilled to join their team. Most recently, Dr. Rick Robinson has joined the team as a contributing author on the Trauma Informed Series. Dr. Robinson has done extensive research on how adversity impacts children’s brains and what consequences that can have for a classroom. He is an expert on creating supportive school policies and procedures to effectively deal with student trauma.
The team has worked together in the greater Portland, Oregon area for decades. They are satisfied to see the PD they have built for 321 Insight implemented across the country and excited to help school districts nationwide upskill to address barriers to student success.
