Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents
The Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents, originated in 1973, is the only statewide organization dedicated to the unique professional and advocacy concerns of school superintendents and assistant superintendents.
Paul S. Haughey, Ed.D., Superintendent of the Spencer – East Brookfield Regional School District, has published an article in District Administration Magazine: “More than a school: How rural districts are saving their towns.”
Dr. Haughey writes that “investing in these schools is a shared civic responsibility that ensures students succeed regardless of their zip code.”

Dr. Jeffrey Schoonover, Superintendent of Somerset Public Schools, has published an article in Education Week: “Bloom’s Taxonomy Needs an Update for the AI Age.”
Dr. Schoonover considers the impact of AI on teaching and learning, and asks whether educators need to rethink which mental skills to cultivate in the classroom.
He writes, “The traditional model of moving from the lower-order thinking skills to the higher-order ones does not align with how today’s learners interact with genAI.”
