Summary

Megan joined the University of Hull in September 2012 after a lifetime of education in the United States.

Her focus in teaching has always been in mathematics, having taught mathematics to children (and young adults) from age five to 22.

In the US, Megan was involved with designing and teaching courses focused on developing the mathematical content knowledge and mathematical pedagogical content knowledge of elementary mathematics teachers.

This work was either directly related to, or an immediate offshoot of work done with the Virginia Mathematics Specialist Program. At Hull, Megan has taught on undergraduate and PGCE programmes.

Since 2019, Megan has been involved with work focused on global competence and sustainability. She joined the Erasmus+ project GCTE Global Competence in Teacher Education in December 2019.

This project has translated into her own work through module redesign, as well as inspiring her to write a book focused on how to develop global competence and sustainabilty goals though mathematics. This is a work in progress.
