Megan Beasley

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 chose SMART because they provided what I needed and were reasonably priced. Megan has been incredibly helpful not only in administering the testing but also in providing resource recommendations and advice for accommodations. Megan also understood and accommodated my child's exceptional needs.

~Lindsay P.

Multiple people suggested S.M.A.R.T, and overall, I felt it was the best option. Mrs. Beasley was quick to respond and very accommodating. My son was comfortable and felt very welcomed. Words can not describe my appreciation. I will continue to use S.M.A.R.T and hopefully Mrs. Beasley for future testing.

~Brogan K.

When we first started homeschooling a few years ago, we left public school halfway through the year. I wanted to get a good assessment of where my children actually were academically (versus the public school, where, even though she struggled, my daughter always magically made “just enough” progress to move up to the next level. So I wanted the WJ, and as I suspected, she had dyslexia, added that to it. SMART was the highest rated and easiest to navigate. Our testing associate, Megan, has always clearly explained the results, and we were given excellent feedback about possible interventions. She always communicates clearly via email and text an is very patient with my (sometimes difficult) children. Clearly explained the scoring, as well as possible reasons for higher or lower scores than previous years. She also gives great recommendations for curriculum and resources to improve various areas. As always, very happy with our experience!

~Megan P.

We really found this helpful for our family. It is helpful to see where our children currently are academically, and we really appreciate the recommendations for curriculum they would benefit from during our next homeschool year.

~Alaina W.

This is our third year choosing S.M.A.R.T as our testing administrator. Megan is very knowledgeable. I appreciate that she offers great advice and insight on how to continue to support my children's learning and development. She always has such a pleasant demeanor and engages well with my children, who have some special needs. I feel relaxed knowing that they're in a calm, professional & respectful environment when testing. I am very grateful to have found Megan Beasley, and I plan to continue to use her services. ~Karessa W.

S.M.A.R.T. offered the best testing option for my daughter. Megan is quick to reply to email, answer questions, and work with our schedule. Megan gives extensive attention to my child during testing. My daughter doesn't come out stressed, but enjoys working with Megan, who is very patient and understanding while accomplishing the task at hand. The absolute best thing Megan does is give me the names/websites for tools needed to help my daughter succeed. The comprehensive report helps me tailor my daughter's curriculum for the next year to strengthen areas that she is weaker in.

~Faith White

This test gives very helpful feedback to help us make the best decisions for our students and family. Answered all questions prior to testing. Very informative. I appreciated recommendations and resources that were specific for us. The cost is a little more than others charge but I think there is more information and guidance given using your testing services.

~Beth J.

I decided to go with Megan Beasley through a friend recommendation and will 100% being using her in the future. She was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to my child's education. She kept in touch and worked around my schedule. She was very gentle and learned quickly how my daughter reacts to questions and worked with her. She was very kind and helpful when it came to helping my daughter grow.

~Hannah Dieball

I wanted to use a test that would produce a lot of detailed results. Megan was fast to respond to my questions. My student was very happy when we returned and was very comfortable in the environment. Megan also took the time to answer our questions.

~Candace J.

My daughter needed a test that could give accurate results of her knowledge beyond filling in bubble answers on a generalized test. Her dyslexia needed to be addressed. Megan was extremely accurate in her results and took time to give advice on learning styles/curriculums. My daughter was excited about her time with Megan. I am beyond satisfied, grateful, and blessed by her knowledge. And also very appreciative of testing that caters to my outside-of-the-box thinker.

~Rachel J.

I was referred to S.M.A.R.T. from a fellow homeschooler when looking for a more in-depth test option. We very much enjoyed the testing process and thought the information provided was helpful for furthering our homeschool journey. Megan was professional and gave us many suggestions that we plan to implement into our homeschool curriculum. Megan was great. She kept in communication with me throughout the process and made everything very easy. Megan explained how she administered the test before and after the testing. She seemed to be very good at reading kids and determining what they needed to understand the testing procedure. Megan provided helpful, actionable information to assist with improvements for both boys in key areas. We weren’t just given the results, but were provided with examples of tips and resources to facilitate.

~Valerie M.

Megan is amazing.  The kids barely feel like they are being tested, which is great since one of my students suffers from horrible test anxiety.  Her feedback and suggestions have worked wonders in our homeschool, and it's evident when we tested this year that they are blossoming. I would and have suggested Megan to my other homeschool parents. Megan always reaches out and works with me on what day and time fits our schedule.  She also sends reminders in case I was to forget. Megan has a great rapport with my boys.  This was our 3rd year testing with Megan, and we plan on using her next year.  My boys always feel comfortable and relaxed during the testing. Megan goes above and beyond to help give suggestions on where we might be struggling.  She also gives suggestions for areas where they are thriving so they can continue to thrive. I only wish I had found this test before my kids were homeschooled or even the first year.  It would have likely saved me a ton in curriculum that wasn't a good fit for my kids.

~Melissa M.

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.

~Jessica W.

Megan went above and beyond to help me understand how best to move forward with the results. She was prompt and kind. 

~Allison

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!

~Erin R.

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.

~Karessa W.

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

 

Megan was so wonderful with my son and put him right at ease!! It was his first time and I know that how she interacted with him eased his worries. I appreciated all the information and helpful websites given and learned so much from this experience. I highly recommend Megan and will be using her again to test my kiddos.”

~Bethany L.

 

We highly recommend Megan! She knocked out all three of my school-aged kids in one day and made it so easy for me.”
