20 in 20.

This is me, blogging.

This is me, sharing one of my learning and leadership goals transparently, in a space I often think of fondly, yet rarely commit time to visit.

I’m going to post 20 blog entries in 2020.

Boom.

“We miss your voice,” a colleague told me earlier this year. Someone who has known me in this space – well, not this space – but something vaguely similar, from the earliest days of edublogging and Tweeting circa 2009.

So I’ve started a new position as a Program Administrator at Berks County Intermediate Unit. In Pennsylvania, schools and communities are supported by regional service agencies called IU, and I’ve now joined a committed team of educational leaders support school districts, teachers, and students in our county. I help facilitate learning around STEM, gifted education, and I spend time with the middle school principals’ network. And whatever else arises as a need!

I love it.

It’s a good fit for me. I love professional learning. I enjoy working with teachers.

I love learning. And I’m doing a lot of it, every day.

Currently we’re doing a bit of grant writing and supporting schools as they work to integrate STEM and CS into their students’ learning experiences.

What are you learning about STEM and CS that might interest me or my teachers? Do you know the Google’s Director of STEM Education Strategy, Kamau Bobb? Be sure to say hi and share your thoughts in the comments below.
