Colleen Terrill Named Director of Technology and Digital Learning

Seekonk, MA – Superintendent Dr. Rich Drolet is pleased to announce the appointment of Mrs. Colleen Terrill as the district’s Director of Technology and Digital Learning. A veteran educator, Mrs. Terrill has been employed with the Mashpee Public Schools for more than twenty years. Her professional experience includes being a former teacher and, for the past five years, serving as the Director of Instructional Technology in Mashpee.

Mrs. Terrill is extremely involved in state-wide instructional technology initiatives including serving on the executive board of MassCUE, an organization focused on providing professional development and networking to Massachusetts educators. As part of her role with MassCUE, she serves as co-chair of their professional development committee. She has also given presentations for the International Society of Technology Education (ISTE).

“Colleen Terrill separated herself from the other finalists because of her positive experiences leading innovative learning with teachers and students. Others described her as someone who demonstrates patience, encourages others, meets people where they are at and helps to build their confidence, gives credit to the teachers who implement the instructional technology, and doesn’t give up” said Superintendent Drolet.

Mrs. Terrill was one of twenty-nine candidates. A ten-person search committee interviewed nine candidates and forwarded finalists to Superintendent Drolet. Dr. Drolet met with each of the four finalists before conducting site visits along with Seekonk’s Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning, Zachary Waddicor. During the Mashpee site visit educators commented, “Colleen has big ideas, follows through, and then knows how to sustain it!”

Mrs. Terrill’s employment with the Seekonk Public Schools will begin on July 1, 2019.
