Hello! My name is Keisha Bodden and I am proud to say that this is my 14th year teaching at the James Otis School. I attended Boston Public Schools from kindergarten through twelfth grade. I graduated from Boston Latin School. I received my bachelor’s degree from UMass Amherst and my master’s degree in Elementary Education from UMass Boston. When I am not teaching I enjoy traveling and spending time with my friends and family. I am looking forward to another great year at the Otis!
Hello! My name is Julia Trainor, and I have been teaching K2 at the Otis for fourteen years. I received my bachelor’s degree as well as my master’s degree from Lesley University. My favorite part of teaching K2 is watching students grow academically and socially. My goal is to provide students with an engaging, fun and safe learning environment where they are able to ask questions, share ideas, and explore new, challenging lessons. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and going to Cape Cod. I am looking forward to a wonderful year full of learning and new adventures!
