Teacher and coach Mr. Beler has been a big part of the Jonathan Law family for many years. He is either teaching his Business and Finance classes, coaching track, or organizing the annual Lip Sync Battle. Students may know him as the teacher who is always blasting 90s hits from his classroom. Other teachers know him as the loudest teacher down the hall, but the Jonathan Law family see him as a big part of the community. Advocate News Editor Gillian Rees interviewed Beler about teaching at Law. 

Gillian Rees: How did COVID change your classes the last two years?

Mr. Beler: It allowed me to update my lesson plans using the latest technology to get my students ready for this new business culture.

GR: What is your favorite thing about teaching at Law?

MB: The community, sense of family. Everyone worked together to get through this.

GR: What do you hope students will take from your class into the real world?

MB: The ability to express themselves in a written and oral way as well as providing rationale to why their ideas will make money or be successful.

GR: What’s a class activity that you haven’t been able to do because of COVID?

MB:The annual trip to Webster Arena Sound Tigers Sports Media Day.

GR: What is your favorite class to teach? Why?
