Topic: “Build your equity-centered teaching practices”
Dr. Megan Myers joined Howard Community College about a decade ago as a history faculty member in the division of Social Sciences and Teacher Education. She then took on the position of the Director of eLearning, overseeing the expansion of that area to serve an increased number of students, faculty, and staff in the delivery of online courses, programs, and technology-rich face-to-face courses. Dr. Myers has worked with HCC leadership, her team, and faculty to guide the institution through the expansion of remote and online offerings and services through the COVID-19 pandemic. In her years in eLearning, she has focused on online quality assurance, bringing easy-to-understand and actionable data to faculty, and issues of equity in the access to and delivery of education. In her current role as the Interim Associate Vice President for Faculty Development and Learning Innovation, she collaborates with her team and campus leadership to provide systems, resources, and professional development experiences that promote equitable, accessible, and inclusive learner-centered practices. With her teams in the library and the Center for Learning Excellence, Dr. Myers partners with faculty across campus to promote a culture of innovation and lead initiatives that transform learning in and out of the classroom. She holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Vanderbilt University and a master’s degree and Ph.D. in history from Boston College.
