As LDC’s Director, Instruction and Program Impact, Megan worked to ensure that LDC’s curriculum and implementation materials effectively supported school systems across the United States in delivering authentic and standards-driven instruction to all students. She guided the development and continuous improvement of LDC’s K-12 curriculum materials for ELA, Science, and History/Social Studies, and supported school systems in enacting the data-driven leadership necessary to achieve system-wide results. Megan is experienced in designing and facilitating both virtual and in-person professional learning for LDC’s national community of teachers, instructional coaches, and school leaders. Megan directed LDC’s $13-million USDOE i3 grant-funded blended professional development initiative across 100 schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District and the New York City Department of Education. That program resulted in statistically significant impacts on students’ standardized ELA test scores, with students achieving up to 9.4 months of additional learning over matched-pair peers.

Prior to her time at LDC, Megan worked as a reading specialist for PK-12 students in clinical and school settings, and utilized Fulbright grant funding to support a South African high school in developing its on-campus library and literacy programming. She holds a B.A. from UCLA and an M.A. in International and Comparative Education from Teachers College, Columbia University.

Megan is currently the Director of Instructional Design, Curriculum and Innovation, K-5 at Carnegie Learning.
