Hi! I'm Megan Parani. (puh - RAN - ee)
You may also know me as Megan Vitovic; I got married in July 2023. This is my fifth year teaching at Weehawken High School, but I have previously worked with students ranging from preschool to high school. I earned a BA in English from Montclair State University, where I received accolades for my writing about Shakespeare's plays. Before becoming a teacher, I worked in the hospitality industry, so I love to cook and meet new people. When I was in high school, I was the editor-in-chief of the student-created art and literature magazine for two years, and literary editor for one year. I am so grateful to work with the WHS staff as your teacher!
My Teaching Philosophy:
A great teacher prioritizes the creation of a classroom environment where all feel safe and respected. Learning is a process where our willingness to try our best pairs with timely and specific feedback about your growth. I value your passions and experiences, and I know that we can work together to see mastery in your skills and abilities as we work on aspects of reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
Some fun facts about me:
I have two cats (they are brother and sister) and three snails.
I love NFL football, and my team is the Baltimore Ravens.
The furthest I've traveled was to visit Quito, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.
I have seen my favorite musical artist, Jack White, live in concert at least 30 times -- can you find me in the front row?
