In
1989,
Dr.
Guy Lodico began his career
in
education
as a
teacher at a New York City public school located in one of the most ethnically
diverse communities in the United States—P.S.102,
Elmhurst, Queens. His vision, established on his signature mantra
of "technology" being the "art of communication," was to create
seamless child-centric
learning environments supportive of classroom instruction,
professional development, and parent/community involvement
to enable student achievement.
As a
young educator he was empowered by his extraordinary
students, a supportive Parent &
Teachers Association,
community, and the inspirational leadership of principal/deputy
superintendent,
Mr. Harvey Sherer, who recognized, encouraged, and provided
him with the opportunity to integrate his individual
strengths and creativity inside his classroom. Faced with a
multicultural/multilingual student population comprised of
over sixty nations, Dr. Lodico became an early pioneer in the research and
development of integrated teaching/learning strategies based on the
efficacy of the arts and technology.
Inside his model classroom, students possessing various degrees of
identified and unidentified learning modalities were empowered by a
multi-sensory pathway to literacy and
learning.
Via an
“Electronic Chalkboard”
and
multimedia-enriched instructional
activities, Dr. Guy Lodico helped engender the development of
his students' reading, math, cooperative learning,
critical and higher order thinking skills as he challenged
them — via the efficacy of
technology — to construct / deconstruct knowledge and create meaning out of
interactive/adaptive software applications, projected images, sound / music,
voice recognition, and text; including speech-to-text and
text-to-speech applications.
Dr. Guy Lodico's students’ work
gained national
attention
with the development of three multimedia health/drug
awareness instructional learning kits produced in
collaboration with the American Cancer Society, Heart & Lung
Associations’ media acclaimed
“Smoke-Free Class of 2000”
and Perdue’s
“First Facts About Food.”
Each learning kit became part of the curriculum in over 72,000
schools nationally. The affirmative assessment results of his
model program implementations led to his continued commitment and leadership
in strategically planning for Educational Technology
initiatives to help
transform teaching and learning to support student
achievement.
Dr.
Guy Lodico's collaborative development
of a strategic multi-year plan yielded his
successful design and
implementation of the
“Classroom of the 21st Century” and
“Reading
Through Music & Technology”
literacy development
program
which earned him accolades for leadership and
innovation
from
N.Y.C. Mayor
Rudolph Giuliani and Chancellor Rudy Crew. His
work led to P.S.102Q's selection by the
AASA (American Association of School Administrators)
as
one of twenty-one schools
nationwide
to be
identified as a
"Gravity Breaking School"
for innovation and technology as
a result of the Council of 21's 1998-99
Delphi Study,
Senator John
Glenn, Honorary Chair.
Dr. Guy Lodico's
creation of a student/teacher
produced
educational programming series, broadcast weekly via
Time-Warner and
Cablevision’s public access television networks,
served as a
“vital community information link”
designed to help "communicate" more
effectively with parents/community members; reinforce school
pride, student self-esteem and academic achievement; gain
additional funding/support from equipment/software
manufacturers, and establish cultural institution
collaborations.

development,

in Education; SCOPE; BOCES; The
