Hello! My name is Susan Beall and I am the 8th grade United States History
and 7th grade Texas History teacher for Big Sandy Junior High School. I will
also be the teacher for the junior high gifted and talented students.
This will be my fourth year at Big Sandy and I have thoroughly enjoyed my
time here. I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Tyler. I am an avid
fan of America. I truly believe that we live in the best country in the
world. I feel that we all must gain knowledge of what values and beliefs are
part of our heritage and we must apply those to the decisions we make today.
I am the wife of 20 years to a wonderful man and the mother of three
wonderful children. I have 2 daughters, Jennifer and Amanda, and 1 son
Jackson, who is deaf. I love the deaf community and have been so blessed to
have learned so much from them and from my child. I can communicate in
American Sign Language so I will probably teach some signing to my students.
Because my son is deaf, we live in Tyler, where the Regional Day School for
the Deaf is located for him at Robert E. Lee High School. My oldest daughter
is a graduate of Robert E. Lee and the other two will be attending as a
senior and a sophomore.
I love kids and teaching. I find great reward in learning and hope that my
students will also. I do not claim to know every aspect of history, but I
will definitely try to find out and learn about whatever questions arise. I
believe learning is a lifelong process. We are never too old or young to
learn. My goal for each of my students is to make the lifelong learners. I
want each of them to understand their heritage and to develop their own
ideals based on their own set of values. I never try to pass judgment on
their beliefs, but I do expect them to understand what they believe and why
they believe it. I will share with them any questions they have about how I
view things, but I do not expect them to believe it just because I say so.
So, if your child says "Mrs. Beall says....", understand I may have said
that but I will also say "do not believe it because I say it, find out for
yourself."
It is with great excitement that I enter the school year. I believe it is
going to be a great year with lots of fun and learning going on. Thank you
for sharing your student with me.
Sincerely,
Susan Beall
