East Brunswick Special Ed Teacher Goes The Extra Mile For Students

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — Great teachers matter. In East Brunswick, we’re fortunate to have teachers like Megan Fischer.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Beth Passner, who nominated Megan Fischer, of East Brunswick:

How do you know the teacher?

Ms. Fischer taught my son Matthew as a Special Education teacher for 6th grade.

What does this person teach?

Special Education- Social Studies and Language Arts

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

My son has Autism and we moved to East Brunswick after living in our old town his whole life. He needed to start fresh and went into a new school not knowing anyone which is hard for any kid when they do not have special needs. Ms. Fischer was assigned as his teacher over the summer and was wonderful at getting him acclimated. She continued as his teacher for all of 6th grade and continued to help with his transition. She helped him make new friends and always went the extra mile to help him. She let him come into her classroom every morning early so that he could set up his materials and get ready for the day before the other kids got there. She really cares about him and is coming to other events for him outside of school.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

Ms. Fischer cares so much about her students and goes the extra mile for them!
