In addition, she mentored intern and practicum undergraduate students to become early childhood teachers through a combination of in-person modeling/instruction, and weekly online content delivery. Meghan worked in collaboration with other Mentor Teachers at the ECC to create and deliver relevant content relating to child development and constructivist teaching and learning.
