Beth Dunn

As Top Score’s Assistant Director of Advising, I partner with prospective and current families to design customized academic programs for their children.

I began my career as a biology and chemistry teacher in Washington, DC, by way of Teach For America. I participated in numerous application-based programs to build my repertoire, including a Carnegie Fellowship where my Next Generation Science curriculum was published nationally. By my third year of teaching, I oversaw the tripling of student test scores on the biology state exam. Never one to stop learning, I spent many summers defining systems and leveraging my pedagogical expertise to train incoming first-year teachers at Teach For America Summer Institutes as a Corp Member Advisor and as the Directors of School Operations and Communications. As an Adjunct Professor at American University, I coached early career educators and served as a mentor both in and outside of the classroom.

In 2015, I joined DC Public Schools as a College and Career Coordinator in my pursuit to ensure DC students had every opportunity to build a postsecondary path that best served their needs and desires. I went on to serve as a Director at HD Woodson STEM High School where I successfully designed and launched a nationally recognized Academy, established long-term internship partnerships and evaluated and monitored postsecondary trajectories for thousands of students in Washington, DC. As a consultant with PathForward Partners, I supported schools, districts and states in designing and executing postsecondary pathway programs.

I hold a bachelors of science and a bachelors of arts from the University of Illinois and a masters in education from American University. My goal is to ensure all students have tailored support in defining their goals and next steps for once they graduate high school.
