Providence is about 40 miles northwest of Albany. Beardsley is an eight-year veteran assigned to the Mayfield barracks. The agency has opened an internal investigation, which it said is routine in a serious injury or fatal accident. I also love the SH but most importantly, I love the people at the SH.State police said Beardsley was suspended without pay for 30 days as of Tuesday. I love this district and because I love this district I am willing to go where needed. So as I told my Senior High family, while I am sad to be leaving the SH, I am looking forward to a new challenge and being part of a new team. I will never stop sharing that passion with those around me. Technology always has been and always will be my passion. And of course, I am excited to continue helping our teachers integrate technology purposefully and with intention. I want to continue learning about assessment best practices and I want to be able to share what I learn with our teachers. I am excited to continue conversations about growing a culture of readers. I can't wait to unveil the training we have worked on to help our teachers learn our new instructional model. My mind is spinning with possibilities that this challenge will provide. Both ladies have been with the district for several years and are excellent teachers who are respected by their peers. I am excited to work with our new Instructional Leaders, Renee Rucker and Heather Thompson. I will be moving to Central Office with the Teaching and Learning Team. And so, we are making it official! Next year I will be part of Teaching and Learning. And especially this year, I have felt myself moving more to the teaching and learning side. But so much of what I do impacts teaching and learning. I have been a part of the Technology Department since I became Educational Technology Facilitator. So when my boss, the Director of Teaching and Learning, came to me with the offer to join her team, I knew I was once again in the right place at the right time. I have been fortunate in my career to be in the right place at the right time. And I thought if I as a veteran teacher could have this epiphany, maybe I could help other teachers learn and grow in this area. Through reading and research, my mindset has completely changed on assessment and grading practices. I have read multiple books on the topic and come to realize that I really didn't do assessment well when I was in the classroom. So I decided to learn everything I could about best practices in assessment. But what about grading and assessment? I don't have students and a classroom. Technology integration is a part of our new model so I obviously fit there. A model we could call our own.Īnd as we began these conversations, this work, I began to wonder where I fit in to the equation. A model that was developed from research-based models and best practices. As a district, we began to create our own instructional model. We talked about standards-based and target-based grading. We began discussing a move to more accurately show what students know and are able to do. And with that we started looking at assessment and grading practices.

In 2017 the district began a conversation on teaching and learning. Fast forward four years, Chromebooks are rocking and rolling and we now have a Career Academy Coordinator and multiple Career Academies full of students. When the SH decided to go 1:1 with Chromebooks and when career education become a focus for the district, it was decided I should move back to the SH to help with those things. As time went on, a new superintendent was hired and new goals were set. In 2011, I became the Educational Technology Facilitator for the district. I started at Norfolk Senior High as a business teacher. I have spent the last 16 years with Norfolk Public Schools.

I am approaching the end of my 24th year in education.
