MS/HS Resource Language Arts

Welcome to my Google Site. My name is Michael Sanderson, and I have been teaching in Mayville since 2015. Over the years, I have taught Social Studies and Special Education English, as well as coached middle school basketball.

I began my career in education after graduating from Western Michigan University in 1992. In 2005, I earned my Master’s Degree in the Art of Teaching from SVSU with a focus on supporting students with learning disabilities and emotional impairments. I am certified by the State of Michigan to teach History and Social Studies. I am also Highly Qualified in English. Before joining Mayville, I taught at Laker Schools and Sandusky Schools.

Outside of school, I enjoy a full family life. I have been married to my wife, Pattie, since 1994, and we are proud parents of two sons, Jared and Jacob. In May 2025, we welcomed our first grandchild, Isaac. I also enjoy time with our dog, Jax, and following my favorite sports teams—the Pittsburgh Steelers, Detroit Tigers, and Michigan Wolverines.
