Salem Teachers Cabinet to Present Recommendations June 15

Panel of Salem teachers will offer report to School Committee and community, 6:15pm at Collins Middle School

SALEM, MA – On Monday, June 15, the Salem Teachers Cabinet will hold a public presentation to offer their recommendations to the Salem School Committee and the community and to celebrate the completion of their work for this school year. The event will take place at 6:15pm, just prior to the regular School Committee meeting, in the School Committee chambers at the Collins Middle School.

For the last five months the group of ten teachers has been meeting, with the support of the non-profit Teach Plus, to review and deliberate on several critical issues facing Salem’s schools. These issues include how the district can better retain and support teachers, how best to embrace teacher leadership opportunities, and key strategies to make the most of expanded school time.

The presentation is open to the public and refreshments will be provided.

The 2015 Salem Teachers Cabinet includes: Tina Cardone (math teacher, Salem High School), Jason Colombino (STEM coordinator), Valerie Drinan (math coach, K-8), Lynn Embick-Morris (4th grade teacher, Nathaniel Bowditch School), Eric Farley (Academic Center coordinator, Salem High School), Victoria Hernandez-Bailey (humanities coordinator, K-8), Lauren Hobin (6th grade English language arts teacher, Collins Middle School), Rebecca Lewis (5thgrade humanities teacher, Bentley Elementary School), Sean McLaughlin (social studies teacher, Salem High School), and Michael Titus (7th grade English language arts teacher, Collins Middle School).

The Salem Teachers Cabinet is generously funded by a grant from the Salem Five Charitable Foundation.
