Aimee Bloom

I am a run-on sentence.

I am typically thought of as someone who is a  forward-thinking with innovative ideas.
​
I am also a Staff Development Specialist for the Model Schools CoSer at Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Board of Cooperative Services (BOCES) in Western New York. I work with a variety of school districts to deliver current shifts in education, including Next Generation Learning Standards, curriculum planning and mapping, and technology integration to both administration and K-12 teachers. I have over 10 years experience working with both adult and children learners. In a previous life {before BOCES} I was a computer technology teacher, integration specialist, and assistant principal in private education.  I actually began my career as an art teacher.

As an individual who believes that one should never stop learning, I continue to grow as a professional by obtaining certifications in ISTE, as a Google Certified Trainer, a Master's in Educational Leadership with a minor in Emerging Media and Educational Technology, and am presently a co-author for the new New York State Computer Science Standards.

An artist by trade, I love to infuse creativity into anything that I do. In my spare time, I swim, bike, run {in that order}, love to kayak and spend time with my family!
