My name is Megan Dean, and I will be starting my 9th year of teaching this year.   My family and I relocated to Madison three summers ago from Warner Robins, Georgia where I taught 11th grade American Literature.   Unlike most people in this area, I am an avid Georgia Bulldogs fan since I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia.  I guess you can call me a typical "Georgia Peach." I graduated from Southeastern University in 2006 with a Bachelor's Degree in Secondary English Education.  I taught for two years right out of college at Lakeland Senior High School, but then decided to take a break from teaching to focus on my family.  However, six years ago, I felt a very strong pull to get back to teaching so I could share my love of literature and learning with others.  It was the best decision I have ever made! I have an intense passion for learning and helping students unlock their potential.  I am confident that with your help I can equip my 7th grade students with both academic and social strategies to be successful in their future school career.    

I am looking forward to an amazing year together!
