Congratulations to Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) 2021/22 class of Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) Experts and Microsoft Showcase Schools announced by Microsoft Education. Each year, Microsoft selects educators and schools to be part of this exclusive global community paving the way for their peers to share ideas, try new approaches and learn from each other.
The global Showcase Schools and MIE Expert communities come together to tackle challenges, celebrate successes, share learnings, and try new solutions in vibrant online communities through Microsoft Teams and social media. As they continue their education transformation journeys, they are supported by Microsoft, partners, and each other through capacity building, transformation guidance, peer learning, amplification opportunities, and early access to research and solutions.
“Thousands of educators from across the U.S. applied this year and the following educators and school leaders from BCPS were selected because they are self-driven, passionate about their work, have a true collaborative spirit, and strive to inspire students with creative thinking and thoughtful technology integration in the classroom,” said Leaza Silver advisor and manager at Microsoft Education. “These educators are empowering the students of today to create the world of tomorrow.”
