This guest is one of the most requested guests, and we finally got her to sit down and talk to our members.  Suley Riordan, Alumni Liaison and Personal Assistant to the Principal, talks about her role at New Rochelle High School, but also how the SRPs suppot the staff.  More importantly, Sue dishes some amazing life lessons, and helps us envision the true potential of New Rochelle, its teachers, its administration, and its students. 

It is time for our monthly guest series.  This month, a special treat!  We talk to a former FUSE member, Matt Samuelson.  Matt is a beloved English teacher turned Administrator, and he is now an Assistant Principal in Irvington.  Hear what is happening in his district, and how it can transform any school.  And, find out what Matt believes makes the New Rochelle school district special.

In this episode we talk to Audrey Hill from Albert Leonard Middle School.  Find out how Audrey is not only transforming the experience of her students, but using one iPad to create digital equity for her students.  You don't have to be one-to-one to transform the experience of your students (even though she'd like to be:).

In this episode of FUSE Ignites, we sit with Union President for the 2019/2020 school year, Marty Daly.  Marty talks about his history in New Rochelle, and we dive into how teachers use FUSE to support students.

It is time for another episode of our special guest series, and this month we turn to Cindy Herren.  Cindy Herren is a K-12 Technology and Innovation Leader at Waukee Schools in West Des Moines, Iowa.  Cindy's school district is the fastest growing in the state, with a population similar in size to New Rochelle public schools.  Cindy is an Apple Distinguished Educator and PBS Lead Digital Innovator.  Find out how Cindy inspires her schools, and what we can learn from her experience to improve our New Rochelle school community.

In this episode, we talk to Diane Delgado, head of FUSE's Welfare Fund.  She talks about what the Welfare Fund is and her role.  Moreover, as a lifetime resident of New Rochelle, we discuss her classroom and how our district has changed and grown over the course of her career, both as a student and as a teacher.
