Mrs. Dobson is the Language Development Coach for Dunning. This is her eleventh year teaching (her eighth year at Dunning). After almost thirteen years working in the legal profession, she decided to return to school in order to become a teacher. Mrs. Dobson has degrees in Psychology (B.S.), Elementary Education (MAT), English as a Second Language and Bilingual Education (M.Ed.), and Curriculum and Instruction (M.Ed.), and she holds teaching certifications in Elementary Education (1-6) and English as a Second Language (K-12). Jaimie spent most of her life living in Boston before moving with her family to Framingham. While Mrs. Dobson greatly enjoys teaching students, she is also particularly interested in working with her fellow teachers to increase effective ELL instruction by raising awareness of language acquisition and cultural competence, and in bridging the gap between the school and home communities of EL students. Mrs. Dobson is passionate about working with children and being an advocate for all learners, and she loves coming to Dunning every day, especially because she learns so much from her students and peers!
