Including Mrs. Megan Albright from Woodford Academy. Let’s get to know her a little bit better…1. What was your favorite subject growing up?My favorite subject was English. I wasn’t an avid reader, but I loved to write! I also loved Social Studies. I used to pretend to time travel to some of the places and time periods we were learning about, or I read about. I once even dressed up as Kit, the main character in The Witch of Blackbird Pond, for Halloween. People just thought I was an old lady. 2. What clubs and extracurriculars did you take part of as a student?I loved being in our school concerts. We learned choreography, had costumes and sang on stage. It was always a big production. I played a lot of sports in grade school. I was in Girl Scouts for a while. In high school, I played on the tennis team, was a member of the National Honor Society, an elected member of our student council, in the drama club, and was fortunate enough to go to France and England on a school trip through my French class. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=364FjJ_1GzPvMCx00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=364FjJ_1GzPvMCx00" width="1280" height="960" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0si47h_1GzPvMCx00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0si47h_1GzPvMCx00" width="1280" height="960" ></figure>3. Who influenced you to go into teaching?My mom. She is an amazing educator of 42 years in the Three Rivers School District. I went to school with her when my parochial school had days off and I absolutely loved it. She supported me through my very long journey into education which had a detour or two. Through conversations at dinner, I could see how passionate she was about giving every child the best education possible. I knew of the barriers to that because of her honesty. But it is her passion that lives inside me when I step into the classroom each day. 4. What is your favorite part of your daily teaching life?The morning greeting. Mr. Steve walks the class up from breakfast and I get to greet them at the door. A high five, a hug, or a funny dance await me with each child. We sing our good morning song and the eye contact and giggles are a wonderful reset to each day. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1VyPtD_1GzPvMCx00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1VyPtD_1GzPvMCx00" width="1280" height="960" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3T72gg_1GzPvMCx00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3T72gg_1GzPvMCx00" width="1280" height="960" ></figure>5. How many years have you been teaching?Simple question. Complicated answer. I have been with Cincinnati Public Schools for 11 years. I was a drama specialist in Boston for three years, and worked as a teaching artist at CPIP (Playhouse in the Park) for another 4. So… in classrooms for 18 years I suppose. 6. In what ways are you active in your school’s community?I have taken over the reins of the garden at Woodford. Along with another staff member and a parent, we have transformed our garden space into a usable, discoverable, safe space. We host garden club events and work over the summer to make sure things are growing when students return in the fall. We hope to keep it growing and growing!7. What is something interesting about you that your students would be surprised to learn?I always dreamed of being a Broadway star or a singer songwriter when I was little. I took guitar lessons in elementary school and college. I sang my heart out at home. But I quickly realized my talent was only apparent to my parents! So when I get to sing and dance with my students it’s pretty close to being on stage, right?!?!8. If you could pass along one piece of advice to your students, what would it be?This moment matters. Enjoy it, think it through, take a breath, but this moment matters.Know a terrific teacher who is deserving of an Educator Spotlight?E-mail us at [email protected]</div></body>
