Meet the Teacher - Betsy Durnin
Hello! This is my 8th year as an
educator. I began my teaching career at Princeton
Elementary.
After two years, I moved to Story Elementary in Allen ISD. I
returned
to Princeton ISD, and I am very happy to be teaching at
Godwin.
I hold a B.A. from the University of North Texas in Denton in
psychology,
and received my teacher certification from UNT as well. I am
currently working on a master's degree in special education through
Texas Tech University.I have lived in the north Texas area since 1982. I live in Allen with my husband and two children. My daughter, Colleen, is a 7th grader this year. My son, William, is a 4th grader. My husband is a software engineer in Richardson. We have a dog named Clark, two cats named Dixie and Chloe, and a mouse named Lily. There is never a dull moment in my house! My hobbies are music (I play piano), reading, rubber stamping, and scrapbooking.
Second grade can be a challenging year - there are so many things to learn! I feel privledged to be able to spend the year with your child. Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns about your child's education.
