At the end of last week Framingham High School (FHS) wrapped up their second consecutive summer partnering with Massachusetts Bay Community College for an Automotive Technology Boot Camp. The goal of this program is to help strengthen the pipeline of trained technicians. The boot camp, which was funded through Framingham Public School, MassBay, and Youth Connections, provided 25 Framingham High rising junior and senior students the opportunity to engage in a three-week hands-on intensive workshop to learn more about the automotive industry. This program was created to provide students with career exploration in an in-demand STEM field. Read more about the program and student testimonials at the link below!

Congratulations to three of our distinguished teachers who proudly represented our district as panelists at this year's MATSOL - Massachusetts Association of Teachers of Speakers of Other Languages (MATSOL) Conference. The event, held from May 29-31, 2024, at the Sheraton Framingham Hotel & Conference Center, brought together educators and leaders in the field of language teaching. Sonia Gutierrez-Sisolak (Framingham High School), Amelia Andrade (Cameron Middle School), and José Martínez (Fuller Middle School) represented Framingham Public Schools as they presented a compelling session titled "Framingham Paraprofessionals Building an ESL Teacher Pipeline through University Partnership." Their presentation highlighted a collaborative effort between Framingham paraprofessionals, district leaders, and Lesley University faculty to develop a robust ESL teacher pipeline. This strategic partnership aims to address the growing demand for qualified ESL teachers and enhance the professional journey of paraprofessionals. The panelists shared their unique paths into the Lesley Elementary and ESL licensure program, reflecting on how this transformative experience has enriched their professional practices and shaped their future aspirations. In a special acknowledgment, the teachers expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Everton Vargas da Costa for his visionary leadership and guidance throughout this impactful initiative. Framingham Public Schools celebrates the achievements of these remarkable educators and their contributions to advancing ESL education. Their participation in the MATSOL Conference underscores the district's commitment to excellence and innovation in language teaching. #Framingham #PublicSchools #Education #MATSOL #ESL #Teachers #EmbracingDifferences #InspiringFutures
