Dr. Kay Persichitte
Major Challenges to "Touching the Future"
General Session I: Sunday (5:30-7:00pm), Salon A-E
As teacher educators, we share a deep commitment to preparing the next generations of teachers, administrators, and other school personnel. Kay Persichitte has spent nearly four decades in the forefront and in the shadows of Christa McAuliffe’s famous quote, “I touch the future, I teach.” Currently she serves as Professor and Dean of the College of Education at the University of Wyoming. Her research and scholarship is grounded in technology integration to support and enhance teaching and learning, applied instructional design, and distance education systems. In the last decade, she has been deeply engaged with instructional technology standards, contemporary teacher education policy, and conversations regarding public perceptions of teacher quality, evaluation, and accountability.
Kay believes that effective and appropriate uses of modern technologies can be a
major factor in increasing student achievement and meeting escalating accountability expectations. “Never before has the need been greater for each of us involved with education to challenge ourselves, our colleagues, and our institutions to leverage the power of technology to accomplish more with less.” Her address will focus on technology integration within teacher preparation from instructional, personal, and professional productivity perspectives. She hopes to engage conference participants in some sharing of creative integration activities during her address.
Dr. Kay Persichitte has numerous service and leadership awards from the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) and the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE). In her spare time she
enjoys all activities related to auto racing and being a grandma. Kay earned a B.A. in Mathematics and Secondary Education from the University of Northern Colorado in 1975, a M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from Colorado State
University in 1985, and a Ph.D. in Educational Technology from the University of Northern Colorado in 1993.
