About Me

About Me:   Hello, my name is Bronwyn Grant, and 2023-2024 is my first year at Beck International Academy.  Before coming to Beck, I was a literacy interventionist for two years and taught in the Middle School Alternative Program for twenty-five years.  

My undergraduate degree is in music from Converse College, and I put myself through college importing with symphonies in a three state area.  Although I loved music, I discovered that I did NOT love the “business” of music at all, so I decided to pursue my other loves: reading, writing, teaching and the science that guides how humans and their brains work best.💕  

While obtaining my Masters degrees in English and education at Converse, I worked at another area college and was an assistant dean in charge of Wellness, Residence Life, and Student Activities.  Our team used cognitive behavioral modification to set the conditions for these college students to transform a college campus from a place students ran from to a place where they stayed and flourished. I use the cognitive behavioral skills I learned when I began teaching in the alternative program.  These skills also helped me create a cognitive behavioral modification program that began in my classroom and has spread to all three middle school alternative programs in the district.  

I am thrilled to be an English Language Arts teacher at Beck.   My goal is to assist students be independent thinkers, readers, and writers in other subjects as well as in ELA.
