“Having relationships with other rural educators who are also interested in Place-Based Education and impacting their community in such a positive way, that was definitely something I wanted to be a part of.” - Bethany Allen

Hello, My name is Bethany Allen and I am a 3rd-grade teacher at United West Elementary School. I am from the rural, West Central Illinois Area and have just begun my first year of teaching. I have always wanted to be a teacher because I have a passion for seeing people be the best versions of themselves. I love helping them grow to become that version. I am incredibly excited to be able to impact my rural school district and help the students learn about themselves as well as the world around them.
