Currently, I am teaching both middle and high<br \/>\nschool in neighboring Duxbury. During this past year I\u2019ve taught within a<br \/>\nsynchronous hybrid model, using Zoom to connect students at home to the<br \/>\nclassroom every day. <\/p>\n<p>My experience in education has a broad reach and has allowed me to have<br \/>\nworked in many districts as well as in many different classroom models,<br \/>\nfrom a Wellesley elementary school, to a high school in Roxbury and then to<br \/>\nPlymouth South High School. Now, in my current role as a middle and high<br \/>\nschool math educator in Duxbury, a 1:1 district, I am able to build on my<br \/>\nuse of teaching with technology to support a co-teaching and inclusion<br \/>\nmodel. In addition to my time working in education, I am a parent of three<br \/>\nchildren entering grades 6, 5 and 1 in the fall, which has provided me with<br \/>\nthe perspective of how collaboration between parents and schools feels from<br \/>\nboth sides of the table. Our family has so enjoyed meeting our town<br \/>\nneighbors through the Food Pantry collections, sports programs, and our<br \/>\nexperiences at Cedar, Center, and the Middle School. <\/p>\n<p>What are the major  issues confronting the town which involve your office.<br \/>\nPlease express your opinion on these issues and how you propose to deal<br \/>\nwith them.<\/p>\n<p>As Hanover emerges from the hybrid model we have worked within this year,<br \/>\nour schools need to acknowledge the impact that the pandemic has had on the<br \/>\nmental health of our student body and implement effective policies and<br \/>\nprograms to address the social\/emotional needs of all of our children. <\/p>\n<p>Though our district was able to provide access to remote learning for every<br \/>\nstudent, it was a more effective tool for some children than for others. We<br \/>\nneed to recognize the individual academic needs of all students, meet them<br \/>\nwhere they are as they return to full in-classroom learning, and provide<br \/>\nthem with the support needed to meet the state standards. It will be even<br \/>\nmore important to continue to use data-driven analysis, in partnership with<br \/>\nthe faculty and administration, to be able to conduct meaningful curriculum<br \/>\nand program reviews to ensure progress. My current experience with writing<br \/>\nand implementing curriculum at the Middle and High School levels, would<br \/>\nprovide needed insight to this process.<\/p>\n<p>Through it all, we need to encourage open communication and positive<br \/>\nworking relationships with families. Together, we can stay proactive as we<br \/>\nfocus on solutions that work for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Why are you running for this office?<\/p>\n<p>As a taxpayer, a homeowner, a teacher, and a full-time working parent to<br \/>\nthree children in the Hanover school system (middle, elementary and the<br \/>\nyoungest receiving special education services), I bring a broad and<br \/>\nintentional viewpoint to the position. As a currently active educator, I<br \/>\nlook forward to bringing a fresh perspective to the ongoing issues facing<br \/>\nthe district. I believe that through open, and ongoing communication and a<br \/>\nstrong partnership among the community, the families, the administration,<br \/>\nthe educators, and the committee, we will continue to build a strong and<br \/>\nresponsive district for all. <\/p>\n<p>After a difficult year of living, learning, and teaching through a<br \/>\npandemic, we all want to help our community. Over my last eleven years in<br \/>\nHanover, I have met many children and families and teachers that have<br \/>\nshared their own stories with me. Those stories, as well as my own, fuel my<br \/>\ndesire to run for this office. I believe my years of experience in<br \/>\neducation, my current role in the classroom, as well as my demonstrated<br \/>\ndedication to ensuring all students reach their full potential, will<br \/>\nbenefit the School Committee and the Hanover community. I am excited to be<br \/>\non the ballot and running again for School Committee so that I might bring<br \/>\nthe breadth of my experience and passion to Hanover.<\/p>\n<p>For &#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221;,<br \/>\nCathy H-B<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\n&#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221; (&#8220;ATOTW&#8221;) has been a valued push notification<br \/>\nsince the spring of 2004 &#8211; long before there were push notifications!<\/p>\n<p>For submission guidelines and answers to frequently asked questions about<br \/>\n&#8220;ATOTW&#8221;, please go to<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=xodILJYEr7y5AydNykl3Xqk6UvPdKJhLkRTgtpphYvJoqLt7nDPoRqoN783ZLADJ<br \/>\nTo search for archived &#8220;ATOTW&#8221; news, view the archive<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nIf you would like to be added to this distribution list, click here<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nPlease follow the link in the response e-mail to validate your account.
