About me... My name is Megan Morgan and I am a junior at the University of South Alabama pursuing a double major in Mathematics and Secondary Education. Teaching has always been a passion to me; just to see that light bulb come on when a student finally understands what you were trying to teach them is one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching.

Expectations/Achievement

Expectations and achievements go hand in hand. If a teacher does not expect enough out of his/her students then they will not achieve to their potential in turn making them dislike school because it is boring. If a teacher expects too much out of his/her students then the student will still dislike school because now school is so hard they will never be able to keep up. A teacher has to find that happy medium for all of his/her students. This will ensure that the students do not get bored with school and that the assignments are not so hard that the student gets discouraged. This is the mark of a truly great teacher. One who can push his/her students to their potential. Any student can have so much potential if they just have someone to pull it out of them. This is what teaching is all about. Making sure that we shape our students into all that they can possibly/physically be.
