Beth, dual-certified in English and math, found her true home in the high school English classroom two decades ago. With a Master's in Curriculum Design & Instruction from Eastern Nazarene College (as well as 60 additional credits from varying colleges and universities), she is a strong advocate for lifelong learning. Beth has been active in designing and piloting the BYOD Initiative (now in its fourth year) at Wakefield Memorial High School, serves as the district's Virtual High School (VHS) site coordinator, and has taught four different online courses in VHS' program. Her current mission? Helping fake readers become authentic, lifelong readers in a classroom that mirrors the real world.
