The Technology Education program at King’s Fork Middle School is taught by Debra Shapiro.  She brings twenty one years of teaching experience of which fifteen and a half are at the middle school level in Suffolk Public Schools. Mrs. Shapiro strives to help each of her students succeed within the technology education program using a variety of instructional strategies and making sure that each student knows that they are an important part of her classroom. 

Mrs. Shapiro serves as the Chairperson for Technology Education in Suffolk Public Schools and the Career and Technical Education Department at King’s Fork Middle School. She is also one of King’s Fork Middle Schools web masters. On many afternoons you can find Mrs. Shapiro driving a school bus full of King’s Fork Middle School students to any of the many neighborhoods served by the school. 

Mrs. Shapiro believes that rules are to be followed to be sure that everyone is safe. If you don’t follow the rules, be prepared to face the consequences.  Because of what she teaches and how she teaches it is important that everyone is following the rules and doing what they are supposed to be doing! She expects the best that can be given and gives the best in return. She knows that she and her students are human and everyone makes mistakes. The key is to learn from the mistakes that they make! She treats the students as  human beings, and the way that she would want her child treated in the classroom.

She enjoys teaching and loves the moment of “AHA”!

Away from school Mrs. Shapiro’s time is spent with family, traveling for her sons hockey team (Go Whalers!), and watching hockey and football. 

Go Penguins! Go Steelers! Go Hawkeyes! Yes, she does bleed Black and Gold!
