About+Me

My name is Megan. I am currently a Special Education Teacher. I have my Masters in Literacy and I am working on my second Masters in Library Science. I enjoy teaching and believe in life long learning!



I am certified in Childhood Education grades Birth-6, Special Education grades Birth-6 and Literacy grades K-12. Along with my certifications, I was granted the opportunities to take part in many training programs such as A.U.S.S.I.E., TEACCH, Handwriting without Tears, Smart Board training and much more.

I have experience educating children in a range of grades and academic areas. My experiences as an educator have enriched me with skills in classroom management, behavioral management, and well developed lesson planning. I am currently a special education preschool teacher. I develop and implement individualized education plans and teach developmentally appropriate material. I supervise teaching assistants and I keep current with early intervention techniques. I use positive behavior strategies at all times. I have worked in other positions and grade levels in the past and I feel confident in many areas of education. I worked with the fifth grade teachers to help them maintain balanced literacy in the classroom. I also worked closely with struggling readers to help them improve their reading levels. I have worked in a collaborative team teacher setting and I am comfortable working as a team.

While teaching, I encourage students to use higher level thinking skills. I plan cross curricular lessons and activities to help students learn in a variety of academic areas. I make sure that students learn using hands on activities and are active during the learning process. I demonstrate respect, responsibility and a desire to learn. I keep material current and make education relevant and interesting. I believe that students should learn to be independent and also have the skills to be able to work as a team. I feel that communication is a must and openly communicate with the students, coworkers and parents. I am enthusiastic and work to motivate my students to become life long learners. Most importantly I learn from my students. I learn to develop a safe, productive, and effective atmosphere where they can learn to become inspired members of society.
