About Our 7A Teachers
Ms. Bautista
My name is Beatriz “Betty” Bautista. I joined Worthington ISD 518 in 2016 as a high school special education paraprofessional. In 2021 I obtained my educator license in Elementary Education K-6 and in Special Education K-12 from Western Governors University located in Utah. I currently teach 7th grade special education in the area of Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) at the middle school.
My goal as an educator is to guide my students so they can reach their fullest potential by providing a safe and positive learning environment.
Worthington has been my home since 2001. I was born in Mexico and lived in south Texas for seven years. When not teaching my students I love to spend time with my family and friends.
