Michael Roth has served public education for the past 19 years. He is currently Superintendent of Schools for the Salisbury Township School District in Allentown, Pa., a suburban school district of 1,600 students. The district’s strategic plan, known as Teaching and Learning 2014 (TL2014.org), demonstrates a commitment from all stakeholders to transform the learning of all teachers and students through a thoughtful approach to using technology. Students and teachers are inspired to think and create using technology through a middle school and high school 1:1 program and a 2:1 infusion of resources at the elementary level. Primary-level students are using technology to record their own reading fluency and set goals with their teachers, while high school students are designing award-winning video presentations through Media Edge courses and participating in their own TEDx event. Salisbury Township School District is recognized as a 2013-15 Apple Distinguished Program recipient, is a Project RED Signature District, and has been identified by Clarity Bright Bytes as having outstanding results using its CASE Framework.
