Let’s face it. Teaching in the classroom has changed greatly over the past couple of years with the help of technology in the hands of our students and teachers. Fitchburg State University recognizes that teachers must have a pulse on what can be done in the classroom with the help of technology. This is why Fitchburg State now offers a course “Teaching and Learning with Multimedia”. Regardless of the device, there are many tools that can help students and teachers learn information, prove competency, as well as aide in the reflection process. These tools provide a space for students and teachers to tell their own story.

Our Faculty: Stephen Celona, Education Department

Are you interested in Fitchburg State's education programs? As part of the GCE blog's "Our Faculty" series, we introduce Teacher in Residence and Fitchburg State alum, Professor Stephen Celona.
After graduating in 1991 with a bachelor of science degree, I went on to serve many different roles in the field of education. Those roles have included many different teaching experiences, as well as administrative roles later on in my career.
Although I continued my education, completing my graduate degree elsewhere in 2001, I truly believe that it was my undergraduate time at Fitchburg State that instilled in me the content and strategies needed to be a knowledgeable, skillful, ethical, and caring educator.

I'm too busy.
I don't feel comfortable being the old... most experienced person in the classroom.

Our Students: Michelle Downey, M.Ed in Special Education, Moderate Disabilities
Posted by Kimberly McCoy-Blauser on July 9, 2018 at 10:03 AM
Michelle Downey received the Graduate Student Leadership Award at our 2018 spring graduate commencement. Michelle's path to Fitchburg State began when she worked in academic publishing sales for 15 years and worked with professors on how to best meet their needs. From her sales background, she had the benefit of getting to work with professors from colleges all over the state. Michelle chose Fitchburg State because of the professors she met here.
"They advocate for their students, help foster relationships with colleagues and, ultimately, led me to fall in love with teaching," she said.
Earlier this year Michelle obtained her first full-time teaching job and looks forward to continuing her new career path in Special Education, Moderate Disabilities. She lives in North Andover with her husband, Brian, and their 7-year-old twins.
