Focused on novices, Meredith’s work as a Spanish teacher has focused on proficiency-based teaching, comprehensible input, technology, and helping make learning Spanish fun. In 2023, she added a full-time Instructional Technology support role in order to help more teachers in all content areas with their teaching and technology use (including paring down). In addition to this role and teaching Spanish, she also teaches Technology in World Language Education and Spanish at Kennesaw State University and regularly presents at local, state, regional, and national conferences. She was the 2019 Peachtree Ridge High School Teacher of the Year, the 2020 Georgia World Language Teacher of the Year, the 2024 SCOLT Founder’s Award Recipient, the 2026 NYSAFLT Robert J. Ludwig Leadership Award Recipient, and serves on the FLAG, SCOLT, and SEALLT Boards.
The topic of Meredith's keynote address is Language, Community, and the Human Connection.
