Megan Gatlin, Assistant Principal
One of the original founding staff members at STrEaM Academy, Megan Gatlin has done much of the work “behind the scenes” to make our program special. Coordinating Project-Based Learning, outdoor and experiential education, community engagement, and professional development, Megan wears many hats and has a plethora of responsibilities, all tied to the mission and vision of STrEaM Academy.
Working closely with and coaching our staff, Mrs. Gatlin facilitates professional development and supports Project-Based Learning, helping teachers to plan and implement projects and providing them with resources and collaborative learning. With her strong science background, she is excellent at organizing STEM events, challenges, guest speakers and presentations. These areas she supports constitute the three domains of the STrEaM mission: STEM, Project-Based Learning and Outdoor/experiential Education.
Megan added “coach” to her role at STrEaM after completing Cognitive Coaching training, and has worked to develop a "culture of coaching" at our school. She works closely with teachers to provide them feedback, support, coaching and mentorship. Working closely with STrEaM’s principal and leadership team, Megan helps to organize and provide professional development for staff aligned with the mission of the school.
Born and raised in Sitka, Alaska, Mrs. Gatlin graduated from Sitka High School before earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from Western Washington University. She went on to earn a Masters in teaching from the University of Alaska Anchorage. In 2022 Mrs. Gatlin completed her Educational Leadership degree, continuing her growth as a school leader.
Megan’s spouse Ben also teaches in the Anchorage School District. Their daughter Olive is a spunky fashionista who likes to ride her bike and catch bugs in cowboy boots. Megan, Ben and Olive love camping and exploring Alaska in their RV, being outdoors hiking and biking, gardening and spending time with their fuzzy black dog Louis.
Mrs. Gatin enjoys working at STrEaM because she loves getting students outside, spending time in wild places they haven’t been before, and exploring nature. She loves supporting the dedicated and passionate educators at ASA as they work to make learning fun and meaningful.
Among her many accomplishments, Mrs. Gatlin has been nominated for ASD’s prestigious Denali Award, completed Cognitive Coaching and Adaptive Schools training, and is a certified Wilderness First Responder. Megan also developed a school-wide recycling program at STrEaM. She has been vital to the development of STrEaM Academy since its inception, and is invaluable to staff and students. Mostly working quietly behind the scenes, she is the glue that holds our program together.
