Mrs. Salmon has a B.A. in Elementary Education from the College of Saint Catherine, an M.A. in Teaching and Learning from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, holds a k-12 reading license from the University of Saint Thomas, is EL certified from the University of St. Thomas, and also holds certificates from Groves Learning Organization and Orton Gillingham.
Beth began teaching at Saint Ambrose when the doors opened for the first time. She loves how excited children are about learning and credits them with making coming to work each day incredible. Teaching at a Catholic school allows her to be able to help form a religious foundation as well as an academic and social base for each child. She firmly believes that helping children realize that they are not alone in this world, and that God is with them in their journey, is imperative to their success. Beth strives to create a safe and comfortable environment that facilitates an excitement to learn. Each child learns to appreciate their individual differences and is encouraged to reach their potential by understanding their learning styles and preferences – she feels this allows for self-discovery and encourages success.
Mrs. Salmon believes that her job is to love each child first. In her free time, she enjoys continuing her own education, learning about new cultures, reading, traveling and spending time with her family.
“Children make each day exciting and fun. I have yet to experience a dull moment.” – Beth Salmon
