 Franklin Borough School
Teacher of the Year


Franklin Borough School is proud to present Geri Kahn as its 2008 New Jersey Governor's Teacher Recognition Award winner. Mrs. Kahn is our speech/language specialist who provides instruction and interventions to students in individual, small group, and classroom settings. She is recognized for her positive attitude which influences her interactions with students and teachers. By providing creative and innovative methods to improve students' communication skills, she touches the lives of our students in ways that impacts their lives forever. By bringing speech and language instruction into the classroom, Mrs. Kahn is able to reach children in a natural learning environment. Here she gently encourages students to use eye contact, correct pronunciation, and articulation skills. Mrs. Kahn motivates children to perform at their optimum levels which fosters self-confidence and fuels their desire to achieve. She is a consummate teacher who is continually learning and honing her craft. Through her effort to develop strong connections with her students, she is able to use each child's strengths to address their areas of need. Her interactions with our school family confirm that she considers our school community to be a place where everyone works together to meet the needs of the children. Mrs. Kahn looks for the beauty in our students and finds it! Congratulations from all of us at Franklin School!
