Welcome to Ty Gorman, Barrington 220 Director of Instructional Technology!

As many of you may be aware, Joe Robinson, Barrington 220’s Director of Instructional Technology from 2012–2018, left Barrington 220 during the summer to pursue a position at Apple as an Education Development Executive in the Portland area. We spent most of the summer in the process of finding a new leader in our Technology and Innovation Department.

Just after Labor Day, Ty Gorman began in his new role of Barrington 220’s next Director of Instructional Technology.

Ty has served as an educational leader and teacher at Barrington High School for the past seventeen years. For the past four years, he held the position of Associate Principal. Prior to that, he served as the Social Studies Department Chair. Ty began his career at BHS as a social studies teacher in 2001.

Ty holds two Master’s degrees in both Educational Leadership and Curriculum and Instruction from Northern Illinois University. He also holds two Bachelor’s degrees, one from Northern Illinois University in History Education, and another in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh.

As an Associate Principal at Barrington High School, Ty has overseen the design and implementation of curriculum and instruction and the implementation of the One to World initiative at the high school. Ty has facilitated professional development, has supervised STEM at BHS, and has overseen the science, math, and fine arts departments, librarians, and the blended learning program.

Ty’s experiences as a teacher and educational leader at BHS, including his leadership of technology, STEM, One to World, curriculum, instruction, and professional development—along with his strong communication and leadership skills—provide a solid foundation for the recommendation for Ty to serve as the next Director of Instructional Technology for Barrington 220.

Welcome, Ty!
