Morgan is currently supporting teachers in his role as a Secondary Literacy Consultant with Elk Island Public Schools.  Prior to that, he worked in a variety of rural and urban school divisions across Alberta as a high school English teacher and department head.  Morgan has always been on the lookout for new and engaging texts that help foster critical thinking and writing opportunities for students.  Whether it’s film, multimodal texts, concept albums, or podcasts – the ever-changing landscape of what defines a literary text is changing, and he feels very strongly that we should provide our students to a variety of readings that help spark their creativity and help foster empathy.
