“Mr. Anscher is a strong student advocate. He reaches the learner at their level and assists in raising their expectations with limited pressure that would cause a student to typically stop working and fail. He works with all type of students as a staff member at Bethel Online Academy. With this need, he is able to adapt to many situations and come up with solutions that work for the parent, student and teacher. He is a problem solver and develops solutions that benefit the student being successful."

“I had not met another individual that was as highly skilled in the various areas needed to support an online program as Jon. Jon's programming knowledge, his mastery of software applications, his curriculum design capability, and his teaching skills make Jon uniquely qualified and "one of a kind.”

“I have watched Jon solve problems and modify his practices by consistently combining his reflective nature with adept questioning skills. He applies this approach unflinchingly to himself and his peers, as well as to the students in my classes. In this regard, Jon certainly has the capacity to deepen the understandings and change the perspectives of his students, and perhaps even those of his colleagues, along the way. I have benefited directly from this attitude, as I have changed some of my materials and practices as a result of his influence.”

“Jon is a self-motivated, reflective educator. He not only actively seeks out the feedback of others, he utilizes this feedback to enhance his teaching. His commitment to student learning is exemplary. I have no doubts that he will be an asset to any staff and will be a teacher that students never forget. Moreover, he will be a wonderful role model for all of his students. I would be delighted if my children had a teacher of his quality for their teacher.”

"Jon's experience, talent, and foresight in building, troubleshooting, and advancing k-12 online learning is superlative. Bethel was one of the earliest online programs in Washington State and Jon has been indispensable to helping continually improve AAi's offering to them and is constantly overflowing with innovative ideas to improve education. He is a refreshingly hopeful, personable, and guileless person. A solid teacher, curriculum writer, and technologist. Any team looking to support innovation in education would be exceptionally blessed to have him on their staff."

"Jon is an outstanding technical resource for his fellow educators. He is an enthusiastic proponent of high-quality online resources for students in K-12, and I would strongly endorse him for any position related to education and technology."
