Teacher, Frederick High School | Frederick, MD
Math teacher Maggie Arnold received a Milken Educator Award on April 18, 2024, at Frederick High School.
Arnold’s journey is a testament to resilience and achievement. Having arrived in the U.S. as a young child speaking no English, she learned how to thrive in fully immersive classes and completed high school, college and a graduate degree before becoming a math teacher at Frederick High School. Employing a “whole child” approach, Arnold’s classroom is rooted in Mind Brain Education, involving the connection among meditation, mindfulness and metacognition. She creates a collaborative hub for higher-order thinking, preparing students for the workforce and adult life in projects like her financial literacy assignment “Passport to Financial Freedom.” Arnold is a PLC facilitator, serves on the curriculum writing team for the county in geometry and contemporary math, and conducts afterschool tutoring for high school and middle school students. She plays a leading role in the Advanced Learning Plan (ALP) process for the geometry team, setting Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) and collaborating on curriculum, instructional strategies, formative assessments and rubric-scoring.
Arnold earned her bachelor’s degree from Messiah University in 2006 and master’s degree from Mount St. Mary’s University in 2021.
