Viking Connections: Beth Rodriguez

Beth Rodriguez taught grades K-5 for the past 28 years. She currently teaches fourth grade and was selected as a Teacher of the Year in 2016.

"With elementary education still being such a sought-after degree among Augustana students, it's important to have career elementary teachers represented in Viking Connections. I would bring vast and diverse career experiences to students, as well as a variety of grades & classroom settings I've encountered. Even after 28 years of teaching, some of the best advice I live by came from my Augustana Education professors. I'd love to continue advising young students in the same manner."
