My name is Julia Betman and I am really looking forward to being a second grade teacher at Washington. It will be my fourth year in District 63 and I am so excited to be a part of the outstanding community of teachers.

I grew up in Northbrook, Illinois and graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2021. I received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Leadership Studies. I also received my endorsement in English as a Second Language and Bilingual Education from the American College of Education in 2023. 

When I am not in school, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and traveling.

I can’t wait to work with all of the amazing students at Washington this year!
