Meet Your New PL Coordinator
At TST BOCES
Introducing Ms. Carinci
Hello, I’m the new Professional Learning Coordinator at TST BOCES. I am excited for this opportunity to collaborate with all of you and provide support to your districts. I am passionate about being facilitator and coordinator of curriculum, instruction, assessment, and technology; I want to lead teachers to utilize best practices, engage students in learning, instill a love of teaching, and encourage innovation.
My leadership experience started in Central Square Schools as a Curriculum Consultant. Before becoming a consultant, I was a Pre-k, 2nd and 5th grade teacher. Most recently, I served as an assistant principal at Lura Sharp Elementary.
In addition to my most recent leadership role, I have an abundance of experience as a Curriculum Consultant. I have led professional development in an array of capacities, trained teachers and administrators, collaborated in curriculum development, created and analyzed assessments, facilitated data team meetings in both the PLC and grade level model, and participated in Literacy Network groups.
My life....
I am originally from Rome, NY but my educational career led me to Cicero, NY. I have 3 children: my son, Conner (10th grade), my daughter, Avery (8th grade), and my stepdaughter, Savannah (3rd grade). They are very involved in school sports and activities which I truly enjoy watching and supporting! I'm hoping they get back on the field soon!
