Hello. My name is Dr. Tania Stoker and I am the Assistant Superintendent. My background as a classroom educator, building leader, and district curriculum supervisor has prepared me to be the Assistant Superintendent in the Northern Lehigh School District. I’m delighted to work for a district that prides itself on having innovative programs and supportive services, a comprehensive, rigorous and diverse curriculum, and high expectations and standards for student learning, achievement, and growth. I enjoy working with our devoted, supportive and collaborative school board, dedicated, knowledgeable and enthusiastic educators, and the families and community members who are actively involved in our schools to make Northern Lehigh School District the best it can be for our students.

In the Northern Lehigh School District, technology is a tool that helps to bring quality, meaningful education to its students. The current technology allows our teachers to orchestrate student learning through multiple instructional strategies which includes online research, multimedia presentations, small group projects, and direct instruction. Projectors and interactive whiteboards are throughout the Northern Lehigh School district schools. We are committed to optimizing the use of technology in all learning activities. The projector and interactive whiteboards are a learning tool for more student-centric, relevant, and rigorous learning.
Through the use various devices, our teachers and students are able to access a broad based curriculum, where all learning leads to the application of cross curricular projects, which allow students to apply skills and knowledge in unique and creative ways. This process enables the students to accumulate vast amounts of knowledge, connected to a contextual framework, yet goes beyond the confines of a textbook approach to learning.
