About+Me


 * My name is Meghan Eigo. **

I have my Bachelor's of Art in Journalism from the University of Oregon and my Master's in Secondary Education from Portland State University. My focus is on Social Studies, but my passion is specifically for Geography and History. I have worked with some amazing teachers over the past few years, as well as countless inspiring students, all of whom have kept the drive to become a teacher strong.

I am, however, a person outside of school with a lot of interests that I think make me better at my job. I love learning. Part of the reason I teach is so that I myself never have to stop learning. I can continue my research, broaden my perception of my subject areas and most importantly, learn invaluable lessons from my very own students. I love to travel and see new things. I think that to be a successful Geography teacher you have to have an undying interest in the world outside your home, your work or your town. And while interest is a necessity, world experience and first-hand knowledge of that outside world is key to being able to make your classroom lessons as authentic as possible. I love sports, music, photography and biking. I try to branch out and try new things. I live as full a life as I possibly can and I believe that my students can feel that energy. I try to make my classroom as lively and interactive as possible, and I think students can only benefit from being able to move around, problem solve and interact while learning at the same time.

All in all, I am a person who cares deeply about children and equally so about learning. With those two things in sight, I hope to make my classroom an environment in which students feel free to learn, feel accepted and respected, and have fun with me and their peers.
