About me
Megan Zeni is a mom of 3, an experienced elementary school teacher, and a master gardener. Megan successfully re-imagined the prep position in her public school and turned it into her dream job of spending her days with children in the garden classroom. She is now employed as the Early Learning and K-7 Curriculum Implementation Teacher Consultant in SD#38. Megan is an advocate for taking children outdoors at school in all kinds of weather to learn, play, and grow. She believes just about anything can be taught in a school garden, and that class time spent in nature develops empathy, resiliency, and self-regulated learning. Megan is a PhD candidate at UBC in curriculum & pedagogy. Her research interests include developing professional learning networks with in-service teachers to weave systems of schooling with emerging pedagogies of place and play. Megan brings over 25 years of K-7 public school teaching experience to her research and consulting, and shares her learning on social media at @roomtoplay and on her blog at meganzeni.com Her dissertation research supported the development of the teacher tool at https://outsideplay.org digital tool. A FREE online digital mentorship opportunity imagined by teachers, for teachers across Canada.
