Rebecca (Becki) Chapman has taught first through fifth grades and has enjoyed the unique qualities of each level. Shortly after she left teaching to stay at home with her children, she was hired by Newspapers In Education at The Arizona Republic where she held the positions of resource specialist and senior coordinator. In these positions, she worked closely with Arizona teachers instructing them and creating programs which assisted in the implementation of newspapers into classroom curriculum. After four years, she tried once again to break away from the work force to stay home, but education kept calling. She began working part-time supervising student teachers for ASU – West campus which gave her ample time at home and the fulfillment of working in a field that has captured her heart. In 2011, that part-time position transitioned into a full-time position with ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College iTeachAZ Program. As site coordinator and clinical instructor, she finds it inspiring to see the excitement of these new teachers and enjoys the opportunity to equip them with tools for a successful career in education.
She and her husband, Scott, are blessed with four beautiful children: Kelli, Aubri, Dylan, & Brody. They enjoy doing anything that enables them to spend time together as a family.
