Teaching Staff

McGlannan School maintains an exceptional teaching staff of highly educated instructors dedicated to academic success. At McGlannan, we utilize proprietary techniques and multisensory methods for classroom instruction as well as in our one-on-one Reading Clinic. Each member of the teaching staff participates in our comprehensive training program regarding the effective use of The McGlannan Method, an Orton-Gillingham based approach. Throughout the year, all teachers and staff are provided ongoing professional development targeted to the specific learning needs of our children. Additionally, our staff receives support as needed from our Division Directors, Reading Clinic Directors and Clinical Classroom Specialist. Continuous staff development enriches our teachers’ abilities to meet both the educational and emotional needs of children with dyslexia and related learning differences.

The beginning

Our History

“Why can’t an intelligent child learn to read and spell as well as his peers instead of living with failure and the threat of adult illiteracy? If we are teaching the blind and the deaf, why can’t we reach these children?” ~Mrs. Frances McGlannan

"These children are as handicapped by the ignorance surrounding the problem, as the problem itself."
~
Mrs. Frances McGlannan, 1962​
