About Us

Welcome!

 I decided to start a blog and TPT Shop to share my ideas. 

Experience

Hi! I am Megan and teacher with 20 years of experience, 3 in general education and 17 in special education. I am currently a 3rd grade teacher in Michigan working with the best class. I strive to always treat my students with respect and challenge them to do more than they ever thought possible. 

Teaching style

I call my style respectful teaching with a hands-on approach to learning. Student reflection on learning and goal setting are hallmarks of learning in my class. I believe that student behavior must be explicitly taught, practiced and reinforces. Students must show ownership of their behavior and learning to be successful members of their classroom community. 

Awards & shining teacher moments

I am in my 20th year of teaching. I have a BA in Special Education K-12+, General Education K-6 with minors in Psychology and Geography from Michigan State University, and a MS in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governors. 

My own education history

I love teaching math! I struggled as a student and I love to see the students who say they are "bad at math" achieve grade-level success and beyond! If math doesn't make sense to the student, then we as teachers need to change course and make it clear to all!
