Kent has worked primarily in public institutions for most of his career. Through these experiences he has learned how they operate and believes that schools, districts and other public institutions have been given a public trust to provide the best services to the community members that they serve. This public trust carries with it a public responsibility to engage in continuous improvement to ensure it is serving ALL stake holders and addressing any causes of inequality or injustice that may stem from their policies and practices.
Kent is a social worker by training and has been a school social worker in Wisconsin for the last 23 years. He began his career as a county child abuse investigator and in-home family therapist before switching his practice to working in schools. He currently is an Educational Consultant for the Collaborative Organization Revitalization for Equity service at CESA 10. Prior to beginning his current employment, Kent worked for the Wisconsin Response to Intervention Center/PBIS Network, focusing on training and supporting culturally responsive practices and PBIS for schools in Wisconsin.
