Kari Beaty, child of and grandchild of teachers, swore she would never teach. Her teaching career has now spanned 47 years. 

In the second of our conversations with life-long instructors, Kari charts the way she discovered teaching and how it's stayed alive for her over the years. Kari teaches Math in the School of STEM. She also teaches those learning to be K-12 Math teachers. The creativity and art of teaching is something she's given a great deal of thought to.

She also talks about the emotional investment teaching requires and how much wisdom a professor needs--and how that wisdom can be very hard won and sometimes come much later than we would wish. 

Come spend some time with Math.
