Welcome! The purpose of this Web site is to provide  professional

academic  related background information to outside organizations and institutions interested in granting funds and/or resources to the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District.  As you will experience, my signature mantra when presenting, strategically planning for, and implementing the efficacy of "technology" has been driven from the very root of the term’s Greek lineage being “techne” which means “art” and “logos” which means “discourse.” 

As an educator for the past 24 years, I've  had the privilege to practice the "art of communication" to exploit  technology’s  intrinsic multi-sensory attributes to engender “communication” with diverse populations of children, teachers, administrators, and parent/community members - helping to motivate, inspire, empower, and support student achievement.

Throughout my years practicing in the field of education, I have personally experienced the efficacy of technology as: 

• a student inspired to creatively develop an idea, process information, think critically, construct/deconstruct knowledge, innovate, and collaborate through more meaningful mediums and pathways to learning and communication;

• a teacher challenged to creatively innovate, differentiate, and tailor instruction to connect with the diverse learning modalities, needs, cognitive, and physical abilities of children;

• an administrator faced with the responsibility of empowering all educational stakeholders to implement effective instructional methodologies, tools, and resources to support student achievement and transformative 21st century teaching and learning skills;

• a researcher inspired by the potentiality my research studies may have in addressing problems/issues in the field, adding knowledge to existing literature, suggesting improvement for practice, offering new ideas to practicing educators, and providing information to inform debates regarding educational policy.

"From classroom to boardroom, in collaboration with my  dedicated staff, district and state-wide technology teams, my passion for cultivating the critical “triangle of success” between teacher/staff, student, and parent/community, keeps me focused on my bottom line: how technology affects the life, education, health and safety of children.”
