Megan is a jr. high school teacher with the Halifax Regional Centre of Education. She holds a Bachelor of Arts with a major in English and a minor in History as well as a Bachelor of Education. Megan recently completed her Masters of Education in Supporting Diverse Learners with Needs and Exceptionalities in July of 2019.
In 2018 Megan developed a unit called “Empowering Changes” that aims to teach students how to recognize White privilege and how to use their privilege to create change. An experiential learning component of this unit was to bring leaders from the racialized communities into the school to share with students about their experiences with racism.
Megan is involved in the Halifax community and actively engaged in initiatives, events, and discussions pertaining to anti-racism, poverty, and solutions for marginalized communities. She has compiled an array of research in regard to educating people about White privilege as her chosen Master’s project. Megan plans to further her education as well as this work and complete a Ph.D. with a focus on examining the literacy levels of inmates and the school to prison pipeline.
