My name is Becki Olseen, and I am thrilled to be joining the Trio
Wolf Creek team. Since graduating from Northwestern College of Iowa
with my Bachelor’s in History and Secondary Education, I have worked
in a variety of settings, ranging from a rural Mississippi school to
an urban Minneapolis charter program. I have also applied my love of
history and government to managing a successful state senate
campaign and working for two U.S. representatives. Outside of the
classroom, I
enjoy photography, theatre, and volunteering at the Boys and Girls
Club.
As an educator, I believe that teaching stretches far
beyond a classroom wall and curriculum. I embrace a holistic
teaching philosophy that builds on students’ strengths, addresses
challenges in their lives—academic and personal, and unites the
broader community (parents, administrative staff, community members
and organizations) in empowering our next
generation to achieve their goals and dreams.
Martin Luther King Jr said, “Intelligence plus
character, that is the true goal of education.” Thank you for
the opportunity to work toward this goal as part of Wolf Creek.
