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! |
