 About Megan

Hi! My name is Megan Parker. I am currently 23 years old and am an elementary education student at Old Dominion University. Elementary Education is my third choice in majors, but I think I finally got it right this time! During the school year I substitute teach in Chesapeake, and I absolutely love it. It has secured my choice in professions, and it's the best practice for my future that I could ask for. The children are wonderful and they inspire me everyday. I keep very busy in my everyday life working two jobs, one full time and one part time, while also going to school full time. I also have the added task of planning my wedding next summer. Wish me luck!!

 My Philosophy of Education

Expect this to change frequently...

Teachers should encompass adequate knowledge and skills to be an intellectual and moral role model for students. They should be ready and willing to do what it takes to see that a child is successful in their schooling, while also enjoying themselves, and therefore making sure that students are prepared for what they may encounter when they leave the classroom.

My favorite time as a child was when I was in primary and elementary school. I remember having so much fun and loving all of my teachers. I even still keep in touch with a few of them; that is something I can't say about the teachers as a I grew older. I look back and think about all the wonderful memories I have of that time period, and how every teacher made such a positive impact on my life. I want to be one of those teachers. I hope in the future that I can make school as joyous of an experience for my students, as was done for me.
