Megan Beasley, Central NC, megan@smarttesting.net, (704)-813-5186
Megan is originally from a rural county in Southwest Virginia. She graduated from Radford University in Radford, VA with a B.S. in elementary education and a minor in dance. While attending, Megan met her now-husband, Charlie. After graduating she joined Charlie in Charlotte, NC where they lived for 10 years and began their family. Megan began her career as the lead teacher for a preschool program before taking a position at a South Charlotte elementary school in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System where she spent the next 8 years teaching first and fourth grade. She has experience teaching students with IEPs and PEPs as well as students certified AIG. She was responsible for developing differentiated lesson plans, administering reading achievement assessments, creating intervention plans, and communicating with parents on a regular basis. Megan also held leadership roles for both grade levels.
*IEP- Individualized Education Plan is a plan developed to ensure that a child who has a disability identified under the law and is attending an elementary or secondary educational institution receives specialized instruction and related services.
*PEP- Personalized Education Plan is a plan developed for a child that does not qualify for special education services and is used in the classroom. This plan includes interventions to help a child reach grade-level expectations.
*AIG- Academically and Intellectually Gifted
Megan began her homeschooling journey with her oldest daughter in the fall of 2020, only a few months after their 3rd child was born. Transitioning from teaching 30 students to just one, who she just so happened to also be related to, was rocky in the beginning but soon began to smooth out. Mistakes were made, lessons were learned and a passion was created. For her daughter, it was the passion to learn new things and in new ways. She has been able to learn new skills that she was ready for or enhance the ones she already had without a grade level dictating what she ‘should’ be learning. For Megan, it provided a first-hand look into how her daughter learned and to be able to tap into that and see an entirely new side of education.
Megan is excited to not only continue this journey with her other 2 children when they are older but also to continue helping other homeschooling families enjoy their journey and make the most of it. Megan is dedicated to being a resource to both the novice and the veteran homeschooling family and helping children reach their full educational potential. Megan is looking forward to using the Woodcock-Johnson IV (WJIV) Achievement test to help give parents a clear picture of their child’s strengths and weaknesses.

TESTIMONIALS
I really appreciate Megan because she was patient with my daughter and I to make sure we understand everything, and was very helpful. Megan shared the details about what to expect, and made me feel easy bringing my daughter to her. She respected my daughter's privacy by administering the test in a private area, and then went over the results with me in private. Megan helped me to understand how to support my daughter now and in the future, and I greatly appreciate it.

The Woodcock-Johnson IV is the most comprehensive test I’ve seen. Since it’s done verbally it helps my daughter and takes some of the pressure off. Megan is amazing! She is a very good judge of my child for only having been testing her a few times. She can read my child’s body language and attitude and adjust and adjust to still get the test complete. She offers great tools to help my child continue to grow and her overall knowledge is amazing. She answers all questions and doesn’t make you feel rushed. We’ll be back to see Megan next year!

Megan Beasley is highly professional and very capable. She has a welcoming and pleasant demeanor, and I appreciate how she is so sensitive to my children while administering the test. She took her time with making sure I fully understand the scoring and outcome of the test, and offers helpful insights and info to help me continue to help my children reach their learning goals. I will definitely continue to work with Mrs. Beasley. Thank You.

“Megan provided me with the best experience. I had reached out to other companies, and they didn’t really want to answer my questions or were short with the answer. I appreciate the time she spent with me before we even met.” - ~Denise
