By Margo Nauert EdD and Power of Learning Press I began teaching over 30 years ago in a 6th grade classroom. Since that time, I earned my EdD in Curriculum and Instruction and have also worked my way into directing the school musicals. I have taught students with learning disabilities, high ability students, as well as gifted students with an exceptional IQ in a self-contained setting along with teaching in a regular classroom. Additionally, I have served on several curriculum committees — most notably on Social Studies and Language Arts where we have worked together to align curriculum with the Common Core and C-3 Framework. I have also worked with the gifted committee restructuring the gifted program in our district.
Believing in students ability to construct their own learning, I employ a teaching style that allows students to engage themselves in education in such a way that they make the learning their own — thus deepening their understanding. Questioning is essential in my classroom. I also incorporate technology in most of my lessons and center much of my teaching around simulations and problem-based learning.
Aside from being acknowledged in my own district for innovative teaching, in 2009 I was chosen to be Teacher of the Year based on a student nomination. Then, in 2012 I won the Random House National Award for Teachers of Literacy earning me a $5000 grant to use to further literacy in my school. I have also presented at various gifted conferences.
2021 Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from Northern Illinois University 1994 MSEd in Curriculum and Instruction from Northern Illinois University 1991 I earned a BA in Elementary Education from Calvin College in Michigan.
I have a doctorate in curriculum and instruction and educational leadership. My focus is on gifted education and social-emotional development.
