About Beth Foraker
Beth Foraker and her husband, John, are alumni of UC Davis. Beth and John are parents to four children: Jack, Mary Kate, Patrick, and Caroline. Their third child, Patrick, has Down Syndrome. He was fully included preschool through high school and graduated in 2023 from a four-year inclusive college program on the east coast called George Mason University because there was no four-year opportunity in California.
Beth has been an educator for over thirty five years and has worked for fifteen years for UC Davis in the School of Education with beginning teachers in their Multiple Subject Credential/Masters Program. She founded and directs the four-year inclusive college program at UC Davis called the Redwood SEED Scholars Program. Beth works to build what she calls Continuums of Inclusion: communities that offer preschool through college inclusion so that independent adulthood - inclusive living and inclusive employment - and full belonging are possible. With the launch of the UC Davis Redwood SEED Scholars Program, the city of Davis is now one!
