Hello! My name is Becky Gudknecht, and I am the pre-GATE/GATE teacher for Busansky, Emmons, and Fort Dix elementary schools!   This is my twentieth year teaching in the Pemberton School District; the first thirteen years I was an 8th grade science teacher at Helen Fort Middle School. I graduated from Temple University in 2004 with a degree in Environmental Science and I earned my Masters in Environmental Policy and Management from American Military University in 2014. I look forward to facilitating the growth of Pemberton's gifted and talented scholars through enriching and rigorous STEM-based activities and projects.  It is my goal to help my students reach their academic potential and to garner a love of learning and creating at a young age. 

When I am not in school, I enjoy traveling to amazing destinations with my family, walking my dogs, and relaxing at the beach!
