Shorey nominated as state’s top curriculum leader

    LAGRANGE — AOS 43 has announced the nomination of Stacy Shorey, a resident of Dover-Foxcroft, as a candidate for Maine Curriculum Leader of the Year honors. Shorey is the assistant superintendent and curriculum coordinator for AOS 43 schools. AOS 43 comprises the districts of SAD 41 and SAD 31 and the towns of Milo, Atkinson, Brownville, LaGrange, Howland, Passadumkeag, Enfield, Edinburg, Burlington and Maxfield.

    Shorey’s name has been forwarded to the Maine Curriculum Leader’s Association for consideration as the State of Maine’s top curriculum leader for the 2013-14 school year.
    AOS 43 Superintendent of Schools Michael Wright announced the nomination of Shorey at an SAD 31 teachers gathering recently in Howland. “It is a great honor for us to have Stacy considered for this award,” Wright said. “She has done such tremendous work for our schools over the past two years and her focus on professional learning, literacy training and instructional practices has greatly benefited our teachers and our students. We are proud to nominate her.”
    The Maine Curriculum Leader’s Association (MCLA) annually considers nominations for the Curriculum Leader of the Year in the state. The nominations will be reviewed by a subcommittee of the MCLA board of directors and the winner is announced at the fall conference in October. MCLA’s board is composed of curriculum leaders representing each of the state’s superintendents’ regions.
    The MCLA committee considers candidates who have promoted and provided professional learning, influenced policy and decision making, advanced the use of effective practices, developed and fostered partnerships, and supported opportunities for networking and sharing at the local, regional and state level.
    “Stacy has certainly excelled in all of the foundational goals of the MCLA and we are extremely excited to have her considered and recognized statewide for her great work,” Wright said.
