Michelle King

Michelle King is a veteran middle school teacher in the Mt. Lebanon School District in Pennsylvania. Through partnerships with the Western Pennsylvania Writing Project, Center for Urban Education, UrbanKind Institute, Theater of the Oppressed Pittsburgh, Green Building Alliance, SocialVR, Carnegie Science Center FAB Lab, Girl Up, CREATE Lab, Carnegie Museum of Art, the Remake Learning ecosystem, ThinkZone Games and others, she helps co-create equitable, empathetic learning experiences for all Pittburghers.

King says she learned and honed her craft in Mt. Lebanon with a fantastic crew of educators and students for over 16 years. In her quest to instigate courageous conversations about learning and children, she ventured to The Environmental Charter School and their principles – Catalyst. Character. Collaboration. Commitment. She co-taught “Cultural Literacy,” an integrated social sciences and English/language arts course.

Currently, she’s seeking to create dynamic learning experiences and opportunities that inspire wonder, discovery, contradictions, frustrations and joy. In making connections locally and globally, King pushes the envelope and boundaries of where learning should occur for all students. Her current interests are in game-based learning, design, restorative justice, equity, social justice, the environment and teacher empowerment.
