Pamela Moran
District Administrator
ALBEMARLE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, Virginia

I am a superintendent in Albemarle County Public Schools. My professional experiences include teaching and admin leadership across elementary, middle, and high schools as well as at the district level. I also have taught instructional and leadership courses as an adjunct instructor for the University of Virginia. I believe that the experience of working at all levels of public schooling has provided me with a deep understanding of both the vertical and horizontal challenges and opportunities being explored by PK-12-16 learning communities today.  

Connecting with other public school educators to make sense of needed transitions in our field as we close in on the second decade of the 21st Century is a passion.  I am energized by conversations with young people who get Daniel Pink's work, relish emerging technologies as learning and communication tools, and see themselves as contributors to the communities in which they live.

I believe we educators now find ourselves in a reverse role of needing to listen to and learn from young people so that we can morph towards the kind of educators we need to be, rather than the educators we were. As the latest American Idol recently commented, "enjoy the experience."
