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 Bay Path University in Reading and Literacy Instruction, and an EdD from Bay Path University 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.
