My name is Beth Balch, and I am a math coach for grades K-5 across the district.

I am a 1994 graduate of Austin High School. I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary Education degree from Athens State University and a Master’s degree in Instructional Design and Technology from Purdue University. I have a diverse professional background that includes Marketing/Graphic Design, Elementary Education, Professional Learning and Development, as well as Instructional Design. I am also an ISTE Certified Educator and have supported teachers in developing pedagogical practices that support the effective integration of technology in K through 12th grade classrooms. I am a member of the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics, the Alabama Mathematics Leadership Alliance, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and the International Society for Technology in Education.

I am married to Matt Balch, and we have three children, Keelie, Avery, and Cayden. I cherish every minute of the time I get to spend with my family! I enjoy growing in my faith in Jesus, being outdoors, creating, and learning new things. Now that our children have graduated, I spend lots of time with our dogs, Rudolph and Ace.
