Welcome to Mrs. Johnson Oden's Classroom!
I am so thankful to get to work at Meigs with amazing scholars, enthusiastic educators, engaged families, and supportive administration. All three of my own children attended Meigs, so I know what a special place it is!
I have a BA in Pre-Professional Speech-Language Pathology from Louisiana Tech University and an MS in Education-Special Education (K-12) from Purdue University. I enjoy working with young adults and supporting them as they become the best versions of themselves.
I strive to aid my students in discovering tools that will help them achieve the greatest independence possible. I provide supports as needed while students grow in confidence and ability. When students leave me, my goal is that they have learned to self-advocate and are responsible for their academic success. One of my favorite quotes is, "If teaching is to be effective with young children, it must teach them to advance on the way to independence." ~Maria Montessori
