Who is the Lower School Literacy Specialist?
Hello. My name is Minna Ham and I am the Lower School Literacy Specialist. Some of you may know me as a first grade teacher. I started teaching first grade at Gordon in 2002.
What does the LS Literacy Specialist do?
I work with Lower School faculty and students. I teach reading (spelling and writing) in all four grades. How long I work with students depends on the grade and teacher.
I find relevant professional development opportunities for faculty. I also provide resources for teachers to use in their classrooms.
In addition to teaching and being a resource to teachers I also have several administrative responsibilities.
I am also a resource for parents. I may attend parent conferences or give feedback to teachers about students.
How can I contact the LS Literacy Specialist?
I can be reached by email at mham@gordonschool.org or you can stop by my room. My room is behind Jan Burnham’s classroom.
