At their annual conference on December 4, the Virginia Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (VASCD) presented the 2014 Impact Award to Becky Fisher, Albemarle County Public Schools’ Director of Educational Technology and Professional Development, in recognition of her leadership in best practices for educational technology and professional development programs. VASCD members include thousands of education professionals throughout the Commonwealth.

In support of their mission to advance excellence in teaching, learning and leading, VASCD includes among its initiatives the offering of innovative education programs and services at the regional and state level and support for policies that ensure lifelong learning for all students.

Laurie McCullough, the association’s Executive Director, said of Becky in her award letter, “There are many aspects of your professional practice for which we could commend you.” Ms. McCullough noted that Becky especially was being recognized for her effectiveness in balancing innovative thinking with planning, creativity, and attention to detail. She pointed out that ACPS educators cited Becky’s leadership in the transformation of learning environments, including reimaging school libraries as contemporary learning centers.

Superintendent Pam Moran said Becky’s leadership is changing the quality and depth of student and educator learning throughout Albemarle County Public Schools.

Congrats, Becky!
