Literacy
Becca was born and raised here in Aurora; she attended Aurora Public Schools from kindergarten through 12th grade. She graduated from Northwest Nazarene University in Idaho, moved back to Colorado, married her high school sweetheart, and started her first job teaching in APS - all in one summer. Becca recently completed her Master of Education degree in Integrated Teaching through the Arts. For years, she has worked to design curriculum and assessment, and to teach English through the arts with a focus on multicultural education and art and culture in our community. She loves to teach reading, giving students time to read what interests them, by authors from diverse backgrounds, and providing opportunities to show their new understandings through the visual arts, drama, storytelling, poetry, music, and movement. The same year she found her teaching home at William Smith, they moved outside of the city to a yellow house on a dirt road, raising two teenagers, dogs, chickens, and bees.
