Jenay Haskins Hall, EdD, EdS
Jenay Haskins Hall holds a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Classics from Williams College, a Master's Degree in Teaching from Smith College, and an Education Specialist Degree from 猫咪社区 in Reading and Literacy Instruction, and an EdD from 猫咪社区 in Educational Leadership with a concentration in Transformative School Leadership.
Jenay has worked in the field of education for over a decade. She began her public school career teaching grades 4-6 at schools in the Mohawk Trail Regional School District, but she has shifted her focus to teaching beginning readers in first grade at Gill Elementary School for the last 8 years. In the Gill-Montague Regional School District, Jenay has worked beyond her classroom as a team leader, mentor teacher, and professional learning facilitator to bring evidence-based literacy content and practices to teachers and students. Her K-2 educator team in Gill has been instrumental in establishing effective multi-tiered systems of support and a literacy resource hub that have become models for other district schools. Jenay believes that literacy is a human right and that we can ensure all students have equitable access to this right by giving teachers the knowledge, skill set, and support systems required for implementing evidence-based, data-driven instruction to meet students’ needs and help them thrive.
When she is not at school, Jenay enjoys reading, board/card games, competitive jigsaw puzzles, skiing, baking (Fun Fact: She has an apron collection!), and hiking with her dogs on trails near her home in Buckland.
