Becky Shorey

Manager of Educational Technology:

Jeffco Public Schools

Becky Shorey is the Manager of the Educational Technology Department for Jeffco Public Schools in Golden, CO with 70,000 students. She leads an exceptional team of 7 Ed Tech TOSAs. Since taking on this role in 2022, she has been at the forefront of integrating technology into education to enhance student learning and teacher effectiveness.


Before her current position, Becky was the Manager of Strategic Projects at Jeffco, where she and her team meticulously planned, deployed, and supported the district-wide Chromebook initiative, helping Jeffco transition to a 1:1 school district in the fall of 2019.


Becky’s journey in educational technology began during her 18 years of teaching high school at Green Mountain High School in Lakewood, CO. She taught Earth Science, Environmental Science, Unified Science, and Astronomy. Her passion for technology integration was evident during her last three years at GMHS, where she served as an EdTech Coach and Mentor. Becky piloted a 1:1 Chromebook classroom for four years and trained faculty and students on the effective use of Chromebooks and Google Apps tools. She collaborated closely with teachers to create customized lessons that fostered student choice, creativity, and critical thinking.


One of Becky’s notable achievements was planning and implementing a 1:1 program for GMHS, starting with the Freshman class. Recognizing the need for device maintenance, she also developed a Student Chromebook Repair Team, empowering students to identify and fix issues, manage inventory, and handle billing.


A Google Certified Trainer and Innovator, Becky’s expertise extends beyond the classroom. She holds a degree in Earth and Atmospheric Science from Metropolitan State College of Denver and a Master’s in Educational Technology. Becky’s dedication to education is matched by her passion for the environment, mountain biking, camping, and fossil digs. She volunteered in the Paleontology Prep Lab at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and participated in significant digs, including the renowned Snowmass, CO excavation.


Becky grew up in Southeastern Pennsylvania and has lived in West Virginia and Utah before settling in Colorado. She has been married since 2011 and is the proud mother of two daughters, two cats, and three dogs.
