Betsy first joined the OSD as our Social-Emotional Learning Coach and has transitioned to the OMS Interim Administrative Intern position. After serving the students of Middleton-Cross Plains schools for twenty-two years (first as a teacher and then as a Coach and Coordinator), stepping into this role has been a natural fit for her. She serves on a Leadership Consulting Team, which works with developing school leaders in other school districts. Betsy has enjoyed speaking about skills and strategies to build emotional intelligence throughout the country as well as internationally and is actively applying her knowledge of culture change and behavior supports to our staff and students at OMS.
