Beth's values in education (in progress):

My students will know that I care about them. I will know them and their lives and what matters to them. I believe that my students have important things to say and I will value their voices. I am committed to helping them find a way to express themselves and their insights in ways that allow them to be heard and understood by others. It is okay to take risks and make mistakes in my classroom and in the world at large. This is one of the main ways that we learn. I strive to model risk taking and reflective, rethinking practice. I want my students to love reading and writing (broadly defined) and learning, and to know that engaging in reading, writing, and learning can enable them to grow as teachers and as people.
