My name is Meghan Murphy, and I'm the ELD (English Language Development) specialist at Hailey Elementary. I started my teaching career in California in 1999 before relocating to Ketchum, Idaho, in 2004.  Before becoming a specialist, I was a classroom teacher for 16 years, 12 of which were spent in Blaine County. I spent six years teaching 4th grade, six years in 3rd, three years in 2nd, and one year in kindergarten (kindie teachers deserve a medal).  For eight of those years, I taught in the dual immersion program.  I love my current position and the opportunity it has given me to collaborate with multiple teachers across various grade levels.  The co-teaching model we have adopted continues to grow and provides all learners with equal access to the curriculum.  

 

I have two beautiful boys who are two and a half years apart.  My family and I enjoy all of the activities the valley has to offer year-round, and we feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful place! I look forward to raising my children in this wonderful community.
