Congratulations to School-Based Technology Specialist Margaret Sisler who was recognized as the FCPS 2021 Outstanding School-Based Professional Employee at this year's FCPS Honors event, held at Jiffy Lube Live on June 9th.

“What do we want students to know and do?” Margaret focuses on student learning above all else, stepping into conversations with this phrase as she helps educators plan. She leads with empathy and in service of others, supporting their growth regardless of their starting point. The lens she brings to every conversation is a focus on what is best for students. She works to build strong relationships to improve and disrupt systems and traditions that are not yet serving all learners. Margaret is a learner and often brings an idea from a book, podcast, or conversation to teachers and teams. She connects ideas and people. Her vulnerability and transparency invite others to also be vulnerable, take risks, and grow tremendously.
