Mrs. Becki Williams
District Gifted Teacher
I am honored to introduce myself as teacher for the Gifted Program at Lakeview School District. As a proud 1992 graduate of Lakeview High School and a 1996 graduate of Clarion University with degrees in Elementary and Special Education, this opportunity feels like a very special full-circle moment in my career and personal journey.
Over the past 29 years, I have had the privilege of teaching in various roles across the district, including high school learning support, and second, third, and fourth grades. Most recently, I spent eight years teaching sixth grade before taking on the role of Gifted Educator. Each of these experiences has shaped my approach as an educator, and I bring with me a deep commitment to fostering curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning.
In addition to my classroom experience, I have also had the pleasure of serving in numerous extracurricular roles at Lakeview. I have coached basketball and cheerleading, and most recently served as the producer of the high school theatre department. I’ve also supported students as an after-school tutor and as a coach for the Girls on the Run program. These roles have given me the opportunity to connect with students outside the traditional classroom setting and witness their growth in a variety of contexts.
On the home front, I have been married to my husband, Jay, for 30 years, and we are the proud parents of four adult children. Our oldest son, Brandon, is a Family Medicine Resident at Meadville Medical Center. Our daughter, Danielle, is currently a fourth-year medical student at LECOM and is rotating at St. Vincent in Erie. Carter, our third child, is a recent graduate of Auburn University with a degree in Software Engineering. Carter recently started a software programming job at a firm in Birmingham, AL. Our youngest, Ethan, is a sophomore at Auburn University.
After completing one year as the gifted educator, I look forward to continuing to support our gifted learners as they grow beyond the regular classroom curriculum. I stay committed to building on the strong foundation already in place, while also exploring new ways to inspire and stretch the minds of our gifted learners.
