Beth McKinzie has begun her teaching career in Miltonvale, Kan., where she teaches K-12 art for Southern Cloud USD 334.
“This is a very rural area, and I’m enjoying teaching at a school with small class sizes,” she said. “My first year of teaching has been a mixture of emotions. I’m learning so much while teaching art and making a positive impact on my students’ lives in the process. It is always important for me to reflect on each day of teaching and strive to become a better teacher every day. I’m looking forward to the future of my art teaching journey and career!”
