Hi! My name is Melinda Chan and I teach 6th grade English Language Arts and Social Studies. This is my 5th year at the Otis School. Prior to joining BPS, I taught for six years as a Special Education Teacher in Chicago, IL. I was born and raised in Boston and I am so excited to be teaching and working with young students back home. I have taught students across all K-8 grade levels and the best part of my job is witnessing their progress and growth, not only in academics but also in self-awareness and independence. I am excited for the start of a new school year and a new journey with 6th grade!
