“To reach port, we must sail – sail, not tie an anchor – sail, not drift.”- Franklin Roosevelt
Peter Scordo, Elwood’s recently appointed interim Superintendent of Schools has taken the helm and is moving the District forward. It is truly inspiring to see how an experienced chief administrator, seasoned in managing curriculum and instruction, effortlessly takes command and begins to make enhancements that will help bring students and staff to even higher levels of enrichment and achievement than we have enjoyed in the past.
To help him accomplish some immediate goals in the area of curriculum and instruction, Mr. Scordo is bringing in a part-time assistant superintendent to tackle some of the workload of curriculum management and to help evaluate our immediate and long-term needs as we transition to a permanent model for managing our curriculum. While it is not yet official, we have focused on Maryann Llewellyn, a former deputy superintendent and long-time expert in curriculum management, pedagogy and using assessment data to make data-driven decisions that assist other administrators and teachers use data in a meaningful way. Ms. Llewellyn has also spent most of the last 30 years as an Adjunct Instructor at the University level in the field of Educational Administration.
It seems we are building new level of distinction in the Elwood School District on top of a very solid foundation of excellence.
