Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From community partnerships and service projects to “productive struggle,” Megan Johnson has embraced it all over her 19-year career in education. That’s why the 2026 Indiana Teacher of the Year confidently believes a great career for educators — and a great education for students — starts with relationships and meaningful experiences.
In this episode, Johnson shares how education continues to evolve and explains why teachers shouldn’t be afraid to think creatively and take risks. Her reflections and insights are encouraging for educators at every stage of their journey, and are a welcome reminder that there is far more good happening in education than often gets recognized.
