West Genesee Tech Tips: Superintendent's Conference Day: November 7, 2017

As many of you are aware, I was a part of the WGHS faculty prior to my career in administration, teaching 9th-, 10th-, and 12th-grade social studies. After eight years as the Model Schools Coordinator at the CNYRIC, I had the opportunity to work with 50 school districts across Central New York, learning what works and what doesn't in terms of instructional technology integration. Now that I am back at WG, I have been thrilled to support the district's instructional technology initiatives. Further, it has been a pleasure getting re-acquainted with the High School faculty and learning more about the day-to-day operation of the Middle Schools and Elementary Schools.

There is a genuine interest among all of the faculty I have encountered to do what is best for our students. It is no easy task to manage your classrooms, assess your students' work, collaborate with your colleagues, communicate with families, and learn new skills. Nonetheless, many of you have stepped up to share your expertise on our November 7th Superintendent's Conference Day. Whether it is leading a session on instructional technology at the secondary level, developing new curriculum at the middle level, or leading grade-level discussions about standards-based grading and reporting at the elementary level, I am grateful to our teacher-leaders and administrators for lending their expertise to make the day meaningful.
