The Best Is Yet to Come!


2015 will be the BEST year yet for the students of Fairfield County Schools. I am committed to ensuring each and every student gains exposure and access to a variety of digital tools.  I am fortunate to lead a dynamic team of committed and passionate educators who want the very BEST for our students.  I am leading an aggressive expansion of our  Digital Learning Initiative (DLI) focused on the three E’s, Engagement, Equity, and Exposure. Every student in grades 3-12 will have access to a Google Chromebook, either in the classroom or at home.  This will help to virtually close the digital gap and ensure equitable access to technology regardless of a student’s background or socioeconomic status.  We are days away from putting a Chromebook in the hands of each student!  

Teachers make the difference!  The teachers in my district have already transformed student learning and increased student engagement through the use of Google Apps for Education and Google Chromebooks. During my classroom visits and conversations with kids, it is evident that they are excited and empowered about their own learning.  View our Going Google video that spotlights the innovation taking place in our classrooms.    



I am excited about the possibility of attending the Google for Education Jamboree in Boston, MA.  This opportunity will give me a chance to learn from the BEST and network and collaborate with other like-minded leaders and educators focused on providing the very BEST learning experiences for their students.
