Senior Fellow and Thought
Leader, International

in Education (ICLE) and
Scholastic Achievement
Partners (SAP)
Prior to working with the International
Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE)
and Scholastic Achievement Partners (SAP),
Eric was the award-winning principal at New
Milford High School. Under his leadership
his school became a globally recognized
model for innovative practices. Eric oversaw
the successful implementation of several
sustainable change initiatives that radically
transformed the learning culture at his
school while increasing achievement.
His work focuses on leading and learning

Leadership, a framework for all educators
to initiate sustainable change to transform
school cultures. As a result Eric has emerged
as an innovative leader, bestselling author,
and sought after speaker. His main focus
is the use of social media and web 2.0
technology as tools to facilitate student
learning, improve communications with
stakeholders, enhance public relations,
create a positive brand presence, discover
opportunity, transform learning spaces, and
help educators grow professionally.
Eric is a Bammy Award winner (2013), NASSP

Emerging Leader Award recipient (2012),
winner of Learning Forward’s Excellence in
Professional Practice Award (2012), Google

Filling the Educator Pipeline: Summit for Action
Family and consumer sciences educators are at crisis-level demand in both formal and
informal settings. And it’s going to take the collaborative efforts of us all – including key
decision makers and organizations – to help meet the significant needs going forward.
Are you up to the challenge? Register for a special all-day Summit on Friday, where
you’ll gain a clearer understanding of the complex environment affecting the recruitment
of educators. After learning about current recruitment initiatives and strategies at
individual, state, and organizational levels, work with colleagues to create an action plan
to increase and expand our recruitment efforts. Together, we can fill the pipeline of
family and consumer sciences educators!
If you’d like to attend this event, choose the full or Friday-only registration option that
includes the Summit registration (additional $20). Act fast--space is limited!
BYOD Tech Lab
Inspired by all the new apps and tech tools, but unsure how to integrate them into your
projects, lesson plans, and daily tasks? Stop by our BYOD Tech Lab on Friday afternoon to
learn about the latest apps, social media sites, web tools, and more! Quick 10-minute
intro sessions will be followed by activities designed to get you using new tools and
incorporating them into existing projects. Experienced facilitators will be on hand to
guide you on your learning journey.
Navigating the World of Heath Insurance:
What FCS Professionals Need to Know
