Megan Scribner is the founder, co-designer, and moderator of the Teaching with Heart, Fire and Poetry website.  Her hope is to create a site that gives teachers a space to share their challenges and joys, struggles and achievements, and be a source of support and inspiration for each other.

She delights in working with teachers and others to create posts for the site. Please consider submitting a reflection, filling out a Teachers Talk interview,or contacting her directly at teachingwithheartfirepoetry@gmail.com about a possible blog post or other ideas for being involved in the blog and website.

Megan does all the work on the site without any outside support. She does not charge for editing or posting blog posts or the general upkeep of the website.  In exchange for her efforts, please consider “Paying It Forward” by sending a thank you letter and gift book package for a teacher through the Thank You, Teachers Project.  Or make a contribution to the Teaching with Heart, Fire & Poetry website – typical contributions have been $30-$50.
