My name is Ryan Meier and I teach Marketing at the GI-TEC. I began teaching a variety of business and finance classes in Madison, WI before moving to Mt. Pleasant. I bring with me experience teaching Economics, Personal Finance, Accounting, and running a school store.
In my teaching and lab environments, learning is intentionally hands-on, inquiry-driven, and collaborative. Students are allowed to make their own choices and see how it works out. My goal is to create a space where students feel empowered to experiment, ask big questions, and build the confidence needed for their future careers.
