Michael Hagan
@michaelhagan
Senior elementary educator specializing in math, science, and ESL instruction, driving student growth through targeted intervention.
What I'm looking for
I’m an EC-6 Generalist and ESL-certified educator who loves turning strong instruction into measurable student progress. With a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies and training through Texas Reading Academy, I bring an achievement-focused, student-centered approach from the start of every lesson.
Over multiple grade levels, I’ve served as a self-contained 1st/2nd Grade Teacher and led instruction as a team lead. I’ve planned and implemented math and reading intervention groups as an RTI Interventionist, supported ESL learners, and delivered daily classroom instruction for student success.
I also bring cross-functional experience translating special education documents into Spanish and supporting SPED processes for families and staff. From Saxon Phonics training to committee work (ABC, Decision Making, SDC), I’m committed to collaboration, data-informed support, and building a positive classroom culture.
