2013 - Regional Classified School Employee of the Year - Meagan Rhoades

Meagan has been the Technology Support Specialist at White River School District for the past 2 years.



She has been instrumental in aligning formative assessments with state standards and worked with the Burlington-Edison school district to create a database system that allows teachers to track their students’ progress in real time. Meagan has also had a huge impact on the district’s move to standards based grading and is currently working on an elementary level standards based report card.



Meagan has the vision to see the full possibilities of technology and the know how to turn those possibilities into reality. Her Superintendent Janel Keatings says visitors to the district often cite their need for “A Meagan.”



Meagan is highly dedicated and creative. She works behind the scenes but also makes time to work with individual teachers so that the people managing data remain connected to the people using it on a daily basis. Colleagues say Meagan is a great listener who lives and breathes collaboration.



Kristen Montieth, a teacher and parent, praises Meagan’s impact saying, “Her enthusiasm for learning, teachers and children is amazing . . . a lot of what Meagan does is behind the scenes. Many parents would not realize the role she plays in our district. Because I am also a teacher, I know that when my children’s teachers talk to me about the standards they have met, what they still need to work on and the support they are getting, she has had a hand in helping them collect the data.”
