Prof. Betsey Barnett (center) with her partner, George, and friends and coworkers on Friday, May 30, 2014.

Friends, family and co-workers gathered Friday, May 30, 2014, to plant a tree and honor Prof. Betsey Barnett, who is retiring from teaching at Shoreline Community College.

Barnett grew up in a military family in Western Europe, mostly in Naples, Italy; Paris, France; and Brussels, Belgium. She came to the United States permanently when she was 17 years old. Barnett has a B.A. in Psychology and a B.A. in French Language and Literature from Seattle University, a master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Washington, and a PhD in Multicultural Education, also from UW.

She has been a library aide on a bookmobile, a teacher of fourth-graders with behavior disorders, a parent educator, a preschool teacher and a child care center director. She taught in the Education program at Shoreline Community College for 15 years before moving to Multicultural Studies.

Barnett lives on a yacht with her partner George and her 22-year old son Lucas, who is a senior at UW. She likes teaching better than anything, but also likes sailing, kayaking, reading science fiction, bike commuting and playing with her family.
