Professional Learning
"To teach in a manner that respects and cares for the souls of our students is essential if we are to provide the necessary conditions where learning can most deeply and intimately begin.”

Passion Work
“I am passionate about inspiring people from diverse backgrounds to pursue a career in education. Our students deserve a teacher corps as diverse as they are, and we need to promote culturally inclusive classrooms that exhibit relevancy by providing an effective and safe learning culture that connects with our students’ prior knowledge and backgrounds. We need to ensure that our school curriculums reflect this diversity and have educators who are willing to implement those lessons. We definitely need to make it more possible for people to stay in the profession." Maughan has served as a mentor for preservice teachers and early career teachers.
