It’s a summer of change!! Left rural Missouri for the big city life in Northern VA. Excited to start my teaching journey at Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School in Falls Church City Public Schools! I couldn’t be more thrilled to begin this new chapter in life! #changeisgood #teacherlife #scienceeducator #gamification #newbeginnings

Definitely something to share with my students!

How fun would these be to add to my classroom decor?? Not sure of next year’s theme yet, but this could give me a start!

And this is why #gamification is so awesome in the classroom!

Let the weekend reading begin! Can’t wait to dive in and discover new ways for students to be “Fully Engaged” in Falls Church this year! John Meehan (he/him) Michael Matera

New beginnings! Can’t wait to make this space a welcoming place for my students at Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School! Lots of apprehension for this year but I’m looking forward to being in the classroom and getting to know a new group of students. Bring on the new year!

Embracing the 6 Cs of Education (supported by well-being) can help us to build some of the best learning and growth opportunities for and with our students…

This! This is exactly why #gamification works soooo well in school. It makes learning an adventure! Fully Engaged by Michael Matera and John Meehan (he/him) explains exactly why this works and why our brains thrive in that environment. Check it out! #xplap #emc2learning #backtoschool2021
