community leaders, the business community and our schools. We support the Huntsville City, Madison City and Madison County school districts by providing enhanced professional development and learning opportunities for our principals and teachers which directly
impacts student success. These opportunities are made available through community philanthropic support. In 2015, we will continue to strive to deepen support for education
with the goals of increasing public awareness, commitment and engagement for our schools which, in turn, strengthens our community.
Sheldon Berman: Shaping the Way We Learn, Teach, and LeadSheldon Berman
The vision, mission and instructional strategies implemented in the Jefferson County Public Schools while Dr. Sheldon Berman served as superintendent from 2007 to 2011 embody this educational philosophy. The administrative leadership in JCPS created "Shaping the Way We Learn, Teach and Lead" in order to communicate to faculty, staff and the larger community how the district's vision can be realized through the coherence of its theory of action, goals and strategies, core competencies for staff, and classroom instructional framework.

Professional Profile
I believe education is an investment in the future of our society. I believe in developing a
partnership between our school, our community, our families, our students and our staff to
inspire and enable all learners to achieve success and fulfillment as engaged thinkers and
ethical citizens. I am passionate in creating an experiential learning environment for all
students, as well as adults that encourages creativity, embraces diversity, fosters respect for
oneself as well as others, set personal learning goals, develops high expectations and
strengthens ones desire for learning in and outside of school. I foster the development of
critical thinking, problem solving, active inquiry and cooperative collaboration for all
learners. I share my passion for education and instill the desire to have the compassion and
courage to embrace, challenge and act on their beliefs, become their best self-advocate and
to have the knowledge that their voice matters in the development of our world. I believe all
students can succeed and accomplish their dreams.
