Concept-based Curriculum development
A concept-based curriculum fosters deep understanding by linking learning to the vision and values of your community. I help schools design and align curriculums, processes, and practices to meet the diverse needs of learners (Äkonga). Whether reviewing or developing new strategies, I ensure that teaching and learning are driven by shared values and rich, relevant learning outcomes.

Testimonial
I was fortunate enough to have Megan Gallagher as my Education Manager while I
worked for the Life Education Trust. Her dedication to the role meant she always went
above and beyond for all of us and I greatly admired her energy and achievements. She was creative and innovative, ensuring that our professional learning was cutting edge, thought- provoking and relevant. Despite being exceptionally busy she always put people first. Megan is genuine, thoughtful and wise, and all these years later I very much value her friendship. She never fails to impress with projects that she creates and implements and I look forward to seeing her latest ideas take shape. You're an absolute star, Megan!! MÄ te huruhuru, ka rere te manu!
