Hello!  My name is Ms. Beck and I am the English/ Social Studies/ Philosophy/ Behavioral Science teacher of the gifted. My co-teacher, Mrs. Burns, handles the Science/ Physics/ Math gifted lessons.  I've been teaching at Upper Darby High School since 2001, and a Freshman Academy English teacher since its inception. Prior to that, I taught Accelerated Humanities, Modern Lit, Writing, and Accelerated English 10. I hold an MA in English and Writing from Penn State and an M.Ed. from Cabrini College.  I have two grown children, Kelsey and Dylan.
