Hello! My name is Jennifer Caputo and I am so excited about teaching for the Regional Training Center and sharing these courses with you.

I've been instructing courses with the Regional Training Center for ten years now and the reason I'm so excited about instructing is because the techniques and strategies these courses share are so very practical and realistic. The dialogue that takes place among fellow colleagues is unbeatable. I started off just like you, as an RTC participant. I still am! I love all of the courses and can't get enough of them. But when I took my very first course and brought the activities back to my classroom, I knew I had to do more than just save my enthusiasm for my students. I had to teach them and share my stories with you because the courses helped me to meet with such success in the classroom.

I'm a middle school Library Media Specialist at the Sparta Middle School in Sussex County. I've been in the media center for the eight years updating our collection, matching it to the Common Core and 21st Century Standards, helping students select the right book, trouble shooting technological needs, creating monthly community building and reading contests, and my favorite.....helping teachers integrate technology into their lesson designs.

I look forward to getting to know you, your students, your subject area, and your district. Can't wait to see you soon! Jennifer
