Education Paves the Way for Sudbury
This week, I have launched a new Web site highlighting my support for public education and varied experiences as a licensed public school teacher.
This week, I have launched a new Web site highlighting my support for public education and varied experiences as a licensed public school teacher, former classroom aid, ABRHS Football & Lacrosse Coach, AB Summer School Instructor and Tutor.
The Web site, MomsAndDadsForDean.com, was officially unveiled by my Cavaretta for State Senate campaign on Monday, 3/19.
This site will help me show people how I will use my skills as a former MA teacher to support accountable and local education reform. In many cases, that includes allowing our successful school districts the flexibility to achieve their metrics in a host of policy and learning areas. Our state is entering a critical, new era in Education Reform that stretches all the way back to 1993.

(Currently, I am substitute teaching in the Acton, A-B and Nashoba Regional School Districts).
A biographical page on my site notes how I became dual-certified to teach United States History and Political Science for grades 5-12 by the MA Department of Education. My Secondary Education and Student-Teaching Coursework was conducted through Framingham State College’s Post Baccalaureate Teacher Licensure (PBTL) Program.

I was fortunate to student-teach at Ashland High School while concurrently working as the History Department's Special Education Aide. To supplement my income, I taught ESL and Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs to immigrant, adult learners at the Mass. Adult Basic Education Program at Devens and Mt. Wachusett Community College.
As a 1989 graduate of Acton-Boxborough, my new site stresses that I have always combined teaching with a love of sports to help student-athletes achieve success on and off the playing fields. AB's Athletic Program changed my life growing up here, and I have been proud to give back to a community that values student-centered learning and a firm commitment to excellence.
Finally, MomsAndDadsForDean.com also contains information about how I'd like to improve public education, including a Ten-Point Plan that hopefully will spark debate on how best to move forward now that NCLB and a Race to the Top have (thankfully) been diluted and decentralized.
