Student Profiles
Erica M. Bordonaro
Central Connecticut State University
Erica M. Bordonaro, a 2006 Central graduate with a Bachelor in Education, currently teaches in the Cheshire school system. She believes that the student teaching experiences at Central best prepared her for the challenges she faces everyday in the classroom. "It gave me a chance to live what I'd been learning," said Bordonaro, who was a Henry Barnard scholar in her senior year.
Bordonaro has returned to Central to obtain a master's in Education Technology and also plans to earn a six year certificate in Education Leadership. She takes what she is learning in the classroom and applies it to her first grade classroom, which is equipped with advance technology.
"As my class uses the SMARTBoard and Interactive Response System together to investigate new concepts, we essentially build a close classroom community," comments Bordonaro. She also shares her knowledge of technology with colleagues, presenting professional development workshops to enhance innovative instruction.
