Asst. Superintendent, Special Education and Student Services Shirley Klein "Technology can remove barriers of

communication and engagement and allow all learners to show what they know… and then some!"

Dept. Chair Christina Mauricio

"Thanks to technology, the world becomes the classroom. While no app or website will replace being able to learn another language through a teacher, technology is the bridge between the classroom and the cultures we hope to one day experience in person."

Reading Interventionist Katie Risk

"With refinement and reflection upon technology integration in and out of the classroom, our students will be better prepared for the ever-evolving future that awaits them."

Director Colleen Thompson

"The music teachers in Darien have used technology to transform the way we deliver instruction, assess student learning, and share performances with the community. Throughout the pandemic, technology allowed students and teachers to continue to create and performmusic through individual recordings, virtual ensembles, and collaborative projects. Even with the return of in-person instruction and performances, we will continue to use these resources to enhance student learning and engagement, empowering students to interact with music in new and innovative ways."
