Maggie McGrath

Hello, MacArthur Families! 

 

My name is Margaret McGrath, and I am currently in my second year of teaching MacArthur TEAMS Lab. 

 

After being a 5th-grade teacher for 4 years, I was seeking a new challenge and following a dream I once had as a first-year teacher. I was confident in what I was doing, but knew it was time to try something new, and follow a dream.

 

I am beyond thankful that my career in USD 207 has led me to this point. After experiencing a year of "new" with the students, I developed a fresh love for learning. My own professional development in this current job has happened in ways that have expanded my own understanding and imagination.

 

I work hard to develop students into independent learners and thinkers through challenges, teamwork, and a love for growth and improvement. I work to develop students who understand that the most challenging tasks are also the most rewarding. I aim to be alongside students who are prepared for the 21st-century career community, which is ever-changing.
