  • About Me

Barbara Beard        5-8 Communication Arts Teacher      Westview School

Picture
     My family lives in the Seneca, MO area. My husband, Jason, works for Pinnacle Pets out of Neosho. Our son, Jayson (Hoot), plays baseball and basketball. He LOVES fishing and bow hunting with his dad. Our oldest daughter, Mekaylee (Jo), plays softball and basketball.  Jason and I help coach Mekaylee and Hunter's traveling softball teams.  Our youngest daughter, Hunter, also enjoys softball and basketball. She is a huge Barbie fan.  We are a very active, sports family, and I love watching the kids in their various activities. 


I have been teaching middle school Communication Arts for 16 years. I have a BA from Northeastern State University, Tahlequah, OK. I became certified to teach gifted through MU.  I have coached basketball here at Westview for several years. I love teaching, and I am excited every year to see what we will learn and accomplish!

My classroom is an eMINTS classroom. eMINTS classrooms have a focus on building community among students and teachers. In this community, there is a strong emphasis on  inquiry-based learning. Our students must be prepared to be productive members of society in a 21st Century environment, and that is a goal of my eMINTS classroom.
