Education Paves the Way for Marlborough
MomsAndDadsForDean.com contains information about how I'd like to improve education, including a Plan that hopefully will spark debate on how best to move forward now that NCLB has been diluted.
This week, I have launched a new website highlighting my support for public education and varied experiences as a licensed public school teacher, former classroom aid, ABRHS football and lacrosse coach, summer school instructor and tutor.
The website, MomsAndDadsForDean.com, was officially unveiled by my Cavaretta for State Senate campaign on Monday, March 19.
This site will help me show people how I will use my skills as a former Massachusetts teacher to support accountable and local education reform. In many cases, that includes allowing sucessful school districts the flexibility to achieve their metrics in a host of policy and learning areas. Our state is entering a critical, new era in education reform that stretches all the way back to 1993.

(Currently, I am substitute teaching in the Acton, A-B and Nashoba Regional School Districts).
A biographical page on my site notes how I became dual-certified to teach United States history and political science for grades 5 through 12 by the Massachusetts Department of Education. My secondary education and student-teaching coursework was conducted through Framingham State College’s Post Baccalaureate Teacher Licensure (PBTL) Program.

I was fortunate to student-teach at Ashland High School while concurrently working as the history department's special education aide. To supplement my income, I taught ESL and adult basic education (ABE) programs to immigrant, adult learners at the Massachusetts Adult Basic Education Program at Devens and Mt. Wachusett Community College.
As a 1989 graduate of Acton-Boxborough, my new site stresses that I have always combined teaching with a love of sports to help student-athletes achieve success on and off the playing fields.
Finally, MomsAndDadsForDean.com also contains information about how I'd like to improve public education, including a Ten-Point Plan that hopefully will spark debate on how best to move forward now that NCLB and a Race to the Top have (thankfully) been diluted and decentralized.
