Susan Leifer has been an educator for 11 years and has spent the last nine years as a technology integrator at Mast Way Elementary School. Her first two years were spent at Leggee Elementary School. She currently teaches technology to kindergarten through fourth-grade students.

Susan works to incorporate coding in kindergarten through fourth grade and believes that it is never too early to teach digital citizenship. Technology integration, not technology use, is Susan’s passion. In her classroom, she teaches lessons on proper computer use, digital citizenship, coding, graphic design, stop motion, robotics, and green screen. Susan has served as the Chair of the Technology Committee for six years and is also a member of the Oyster River Cooperative School District Communications Committee and Learning Management Committee. Susan earned a B.S. in communication from Boston University, a digital media specialist certification from Plymouth State University, and an M.Ed. from the University of New Hampshire.
