Community Invited to Meet with Former NYC Schools Chancellor Thursday
A roundtable discussion will take place at Autrey Mill Middle School, Thursday, May 9.
Fulton County Schools Superintendent Robert Avossa will meet with the former Chancellor of New York City Schools Joel Klein at Autrey Mill Middle School in Johns Creek tomorrow.
Klein is the current CEO of Amplify, a company dedicated to reimagining K-12 education by creating digital products and services that empower teachers, students and parents in new ways, according to Fulton County Schools. The local school system began a program using Amplify in four middle schools this spring which utilize tech devices, including tablet computers preloaded with educational content that expand upon the students' curriculum.
The CEO of AT&T Wireless Ralph de la Vega will join Avossa and Klein, along with Autrey Mill students, teachers, parents and local community members. The meeting will engage the community in a discussion about the way instructional technology is transforming classrooms.
