Miss Betsy

An itty-bitty bit About Me!
I have a bachelors degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education from Southern Utah University and a masters degree in the Art of Teaching from National University.

I also had the best 1st grade teacher in the world and decided at the age of six that teaching would be the job for me.

I taught kindergarten at West Clinton Elementary for 5 1/2 years and then came home to teach preschool. It has been a nice change and I'm thankful I still get to be a teacher. I absolutely love school, love learning, love teaching, love being creative, and love the positive attitude and energy that comes from working around children. Can you tell I might just love my job?

Teaching Philosophy

I had to write many teaching philosophies as I went through school and prepared professional portfolios and could bore you with oodles of feel-good, dramatic, and sentimental fluff, but my teaching goals are really quite simple:
  1. Provide a organized, positive, and engaging learning environment.
  2. Celebrate and challenge each student individually.
  3. Teach my students to take on any task with a positive attitude and hard work.
