"anywhere that I go is a classroom."
-Beth
teaching artist
With over 15 years experience as a teaching artist, Beth Reeves received a Master of Education in Theatre Education from Columbus State University. Known for infusing culturally relevant teaching into her lessons, Beth has experience applying pedagogies that gravitate toward Social Responsible Theatre Practice. She utilizes culturally responsive teaching methods to increase academic achievement in at risk student populations and school climate.
Having taught students from kindergarten to college, her teaching method leaves an imprint on all students from all walks of life. She strives to cultivate academic success and community leadership. From teaching a variety of after school programs in challenging neighborhoods, to creating theatre curriculum for behavioral health, explaining to educators how the classroom transforms into a safe space is one of the BEST parts of her job.
