“I inspire greatness by encouraging those around me to not be afraid to communicate with others in any capacity.”
 
By evaluating and continually updating the curriculum, Beth Cross provides students with Spanish courses that challenge them and keep them productive. She strives to improve their abilities to listen, read, speak and write. Upon completion of each level, Profe Cross wants her students to meet national standards of communication as established by the American Council of Teaching Foreign Languages. She prepares them to be the best global citizens they can be because language teachers are not merely teaching the language but the cultures they represent.
