By creating a warm classroom environment, students at all learning levels and abilities know that they are walking into a safe place to learn, grow, and discover positive challenges to make them strong and independent learners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8cd696117bcf130ecf3683/cfb48062-b89b-4c03-8256-ac9572326a22/IMG_3869.JPG Home - About Maria Hello! I'm Maria Wentworth, founder of Beyond the Classroom. I am a Massachusetts-licensed educator for grades 1–6 with a passion for helping children build confidence, develop strong academic skills, and discover a love of learning. My educational background includes a Master's Degree in Elementary Education, a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Language Arts, and an Associate's Degree in Science. Throughout my career, I have worked with students of diverse learning styles, abilities, and backgrounds, and I believe every child has the potential to succeed when given the right support and encouragement. At Beyond the Classroom, I use a fun, engaging, and rigorous multisensory approach to learning. Because every child learns differently, I tailor instruction to meet each student's unique needs, strengths, and interests. My goal is to create a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, asking questions, and celebrating their progress. As a mother of two energetic eleven-year-old boys, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges of supporting children both academically and emotionally. When I'm not teaching, I love spending time with my family, exploring new adventures, and making memories together. I am a strong believer in the power of "YES!"—yes, every child can learn, yes, every child can grow, and yes, every child can achieve success with the right tools, guidance, and encouragement. I look forward to helping your child thrive Beyond the Classroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8cd696117bcf130ecf3683/1621008301139-50CQBSIGW76SFTSEZ45F/0P0A5883.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.beyondtheclassroomashland.com/what-we-do daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.beyondtheclassroomashland.com/projects daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565292381043-ER9AOU1LISY7FVVCNVEQ/20140302_trade+151_0677.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565292406252-8560GSO2A1FLMFQVTG60/Aro+Ha_0073.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565292525597-WCO0DS8F9PHF2V1U45HY/20140228_Trade+151_0067+%281%29.jpg Projects https://www.beyondtheclassroomashland.com/partners daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.beyondtheclassroomashland.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.beyondtheclassroomashland.com/take-action daily 0.75 2025-05-09
