About Mikaela

Mikaela Prego is an elementary educator based in Louisville, Kentucky. She has spent most of her career teaching 3-5th grade in Colorado and Massachusetts. Most recently, she took on the role of Math Interventionist where she works with students in kindergarten through 8th grade to help them improve their math abilities and confidence. She loves finding ways to make work authentic for her students so they are as invested in their learning as she is. She believes that every student is capable of meeting high expectations and solving complex problems and loves when students find unexpected ways to reach solutions. In her years in education, Mikaela has been most surprised by what students can accomplish when they are empowered to take accountability for their own learning.
