Servant Leadership
By: Maegan Rodgers- Lifelong Learner
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves."
About Me
I graduated from Dallas Christian College with a bible degree. I was then given the opportunity to intern in Guatemala at a school teaching English and bible. I fell in love with serving children and teaching during my time in Guatemala. Since coming back from Guatemala I have worked with abused and neglected children ages birth-17. I was able to lead a staff of about 30 which allowed me to fall in love with my natural gifting of leadership and organization. Through my experiences I decided I wanted to be in the field of education and God put me in the perfect position. I am striving to be the best teacher I can be while being patient and learning about servant leadership and the role I hope to someday have in administration.
Philippians 2:3- "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves."
My amazing support system!!
She is my reason!

Design and Implementation
Curriculum Design was one of the toughest classes for me as my background is not in education, however, through the use of my research project and education through DBU- I was able to implement many strategies that helped improve instruction results.
Campus Culture and Development
Through my supervision of instruction class and public relations class I have learned the importance of being positive in everything education related. Teachers need positive, constructive feedback. The community needs to see the good that the schools are doing rather than just the negative.

Master Schedule
