ABOUT ME

I am Megan Roedl, and I am an instructional advocate. With 18 years in education, I am passionate about engaging families to increase student success. I have served as a high school social studies teacher specializing in history and geography during my career. After nine years in the classroom, I transferred to the district office, where I oversaw Family and Community Engagement within the Federal Programs Department of Gwinnett County Public Schools for eight years. This summer, I returned “home” to East Cobb, where I grew up, to be closer to my family as I explore the next chapter of my career as a Family Engagement Specialist for the Georgia Department of Education.
My goal is to partner with you as I offer my services as an instructional advocate for you and your children.
My process is simple. Engage. Educate. Empower.
