WELCOME! MY NAME IS EMILY SHEAHAN-STAHL.
ABOUT ME
My Background
I've always had a passion to improve education: To make it exciting, engaging, and meaningful.
From a young age, I knew that I was meant to teach. The funny thing is, I was a horrible student.
Thanks to my terrific education at Central Michigan University, I've learned to not only be a better student, but how to reach out to students like my high school self.

I corresponded with students and parents to collaborate on student success during the lock-down with the goal to keep students engaged in the learning process outside of the school building.

Part of that was teaching a novel unit for Tom Sawyer where I created interactive and engaging formative and summative assessments.
From this unit I developed data from assessments that showed student growth throughout my student teaching experience.
