After 13 years as the librarian at the Little Flower School in Wading River, I decided to go back to school.  I attended the Masters of Science in Technological Systems Management program with a concentration in Educational Technology here at Stony Brook University. I completed the masters in May of 2013.  This eportfolio was created as a part of that masters program. Included here is information, artifacts and reflections from all the courses that I completed and from other learning experiences. 

 

In March of 2014 I was hired as the Director of the School Library System in Western Suffolk BOCES.  This position involves a number of new duties and activities.  Instead of working with students, I work with all of the school library media specialists in Western Suffolk BOCES.  I provide them with professional development.  I coordinate cooperative purchases of library automation and online resources to get the best prices for my member districts.  I organize and supervise an annual day long conference.  I have also collaborated with the School Library System Directors of Eastern Suffolk BOCES and Nassau BOCES to bring a regional institute to all of our school librarians.  I have found this new position to be challenging, yet very rewarding.  

 

One of the State mandates for this position is that I have earned the administrative certification.  So, I am back at school again.  This time I am in a cohort for the "Educational Leadership" program through StonyBrook's School of Professional Development.  I have completed the first year and have two more to go.

 

Aside from my roles as a teacher and learner, I am wife to a wonderful husband; mother to two amazing "children" who are terrific adults; Nana to two beautiful granddaughers; adoptive mom to five cats and a dog who keep me smiling; and a die-hard Knicks fan who has lots of hope! 

 

Thank you for viewing my e-portfolio.  Note that I have updated the resume section; but there are other sections that I have not updated.  I would be happy to discuss the professional development that I have given and received since May of 2013.  Feel free to leave a comment here if you would like me to contact you.
