Literacy has changed and our students need to thrive in this world of unprecedented complexity and globalization. In Watertown Schools we are building a high-tech, high-touch, interactive educational environment to ensure our children will be successful. Visit my Superintendent’s Site often to learn about how we are making innovative teaching and learning a reality.The Presentations section, includes topics at School Committee meetings and other public sessions. The links in the navigation bar, are examples of innovative teaching and learning, and student accomplishments. In my Superintendent’s Newsroom, I highlight ideas and challenges we are grappling with along our way in this important work. I welcome your insights and comments.
