Associate Clinical Professor
University of Maryland College Park
Dr. Maggie Peterson uses she, her pronouns. She is an educator in her 27th year of teaching. Since 1994 she has taught first grade, third grade, Kindergarten, High School English Language Arts and Community College English Language Arts, including ESOL courses for adults. While pursuing a master’s degree at the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University, she began teaching creative writing courses to undergraduates who were mostly STEM majors. She has spent the last 18 years teaching future teachers to teach writing and has worked with many K-16 teachers across the state of Maryland to infuse writing into classrooms as a tool for learning. Since 2001, she has been the writers’ workshop instructor for the Echoes of Memory, a group of Holocaust survivor writers at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Her doctoral research focused on the lived experience of writing about personal experience of the Holocaust and learning through narrative modes.
