Background

About Melonie Hixon

I’m an educator, curriculum designer, and literacy specialist with nearly 20 years in the classroom, and I still believe that great teaching changes lives. With a Master’s in Curriculum Leadership and an MA in Literature/Writing, I’ve spent my career designing engaging, standards-aligned lessons that actually work—especially for students who need that extra spark to connect with reading and writing. I’ve led district-level curriculum projects, helped teachers rethink their approach to instruction, and supported students from all backgrounds—urban, rural, high-needs, and gifted. What I love most? Helping educators feel confident and supported while building materials that light a fire in the classroom. Whether I’m designing a full literacy framework or leading PD, I bring real-world teaching experience and a heart for helping others thrive. Right now, I’m looking for a remote role where I can use my curriculum and instructional design skills to support schools, publishers, or edtech companies doing meaningful work. If you’re building something that helps teachers teach better or helps kids fall in love with learning—I’d love to be part of it.
