Hello Business Educators! 

This is a wonderful time in education to pull our resources together and support one another through curriculum, articulation, and budgeting. I look forward to working with you and helping to continue growing this organization.  

I am an experienced and passionate Career and Technical Education (CTE) Business teacher in Bend, Oregon, currently teaching at Caldera High School within Bend‑La Pine Schools. I have nearly a decade of experience in business education and also serve in leadership roles as an Instructional Curriculum Coach and Leader and as a Tier 2 Interventionist. I have served as an interim assistant principal.

I am dedicated to helping students discover their passions and preparing them for future careers, while supporting staff development and schoolwide initiatives. I extend my impact beyond the classroom as a DECA advisor and junior varsity softball coach. Since 2022, I have been involved with the Oregon Business Education Association and the Western Business Education Association. 

I hold a Master of Public Administration, multiple teaching credentials, an administrative license, and National Board Certification in Career and Technical Education. I am currently the only NBCT teacher in Oregon in Business CTE. The state treasurer recognized my work on Senate Bill 3 when I was named Economics Educator of the Year. Recognized for my commitment to student success, I bring energy, leadership, and a student-centered approach to all aspects of my work. 

I hope you will consider joining OBEA and attending our upcoming conference in Ashland, OR, this October. We want to invest in you and help your practice grow! 

Bekki Tucker, 

OBEA President 2026-2027
