Megan Elniff is a fifth-grade science teacher at a Greek immersion school in North Carolina where the Socratic method is central to learning. Over 13 years in education, she has taught in multiple states and served in roles ranging from special education teacher to multilingual learner specialist, all of which shaped her dynamic, student-centered approach to teaching. 

In this episode, Elniff shares how discussion-based instruction transforms her classroom into a space where students lead with curiosity and grow as critical thinkers. Her insights about teaching in diverse communities and continually refining her craft to better serve students will resonate with teachers at any stage of their career.
