Mrs. H-The New Beiter

Mrs. Beiter's time to depart has finally come; but not before training her new replacement.  Mrs. H certainly carries a similar persona to Mrs. Beiter, similarly providing a smiling face at all times. Though new to the senior english classroom, Mrs. H is not new to teaching or even to Loyalsock High School. In 2008, Mrs. H did a long term substitution for our very own Mr. Joe Smith. During the following fall, Mrs. H headed down south. Teaching seventh graders language arts in Greensboro, Mrs. H said it was awesome being able to teach the fundamentals of reading and writing. During her time in Greensboro, Mrs. H simultaneously studied at the University of North Carolina for her masters in Women's and Gender Studies. In 2012, she moved to Washington DC to teach ninth grade English. She remained there until 2013. Mrs. H pointed out that teaching ninth grade is different from seventh grade because it is no longer about teaching fundamentals, but rather reinforcing previously learned skills.  Since arriving at Loyalsock, Mrs H. said that she enjoys being more of a facilitator and less of an instructor. With a class of seniors, the students are easy to oversee; it is more about applying the learned skills and working on their own. Most of all, Loyasock is a breath of fresh air for her. The students are motivated, the faculty is welcoming, the technology is awesome and the possibilities are endless. Mrs. H said that teaching at Loyalsock High School would be her ideal teaching job; and it's great to have her aboard!
