Hi Everyone-- I am a Coordinator for Staff and Curriculum Development on the Instructional Resources Team at Erie 1 BOCES. My days are spent providing professional development to teachers and working with administrators as they use data to inform their instruction and align their curricula.How exciting it is to have this opportunity to work closely with you over the course of this year! Kristen Marchiole and I had the opportunity to work with Sheryl at High School's New Face last summer, and we were thrilled when we received the invitation to participate in this initiative with all of you.

As a writer, I've enjoyed blogging as a personal hobby for quite a few years now. When I was asked to coordinate the Erie 1 BOCES English Language Arts Deep Curriculum Alignment project, I used the [|Deep Curriculum Alignment] blog to support the growth of this professional learning community, and as this project moves forward, I'm excited about working with our CSLO Model Schools team to support teachers as they begin building technology-integrated common formative assessments. Many teachers involved in this project rely on the use of wikis and blogs in their classrooms already, and several of them have willingly shared these tools with others involved in the project. Last summer, Sheryl inspired me to begin a professional blog as well, which is located [|here]. You will note that it is still in its very early infancy, however! I am hoping that my involvement in this new initiative will inspire more frequent posting to this space.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at the face-to-face meeting in November and learning with all of you throughout the year. See you soon!
