Meet the Superintendent

Dr. Scott Wyndham became Superintendent of Avon Community School Corporation in the summer of 2020 after several years in district leadership roles. He and his wife moved to Avon in 2007, before their daughters were old enough to be in school, so they could attend Avon Schools. He knew when he moved to Avon — and he believes it even more fully now — that ACSC educators and support staff are united in supporting students to realize lofty goals.

Episode 093: Helping Our Diverse Learners Succeed

Back in February, the Avon Board of School Trustees heard a presentation about how Avon Schools supports diverse learners. It was such a great presentation that Dr. Wyndham wanted podcast listeners to be able to enjoy it, too. Dr. Wyndham has a dynamic conversation about how we support two important groups of students with Data & Acceleration Coordinator Sarah Pies and Multilingual Coordinator Angela Rasor. (Susie Hurt, Director of Special Education, wasn't able to join, but we'll feature her on a later episode.)

Find out how we're using data to drive instruction across the corporation, how our high ability program is meeting the needs of students who are learning above their grade level, and how we're remaining engaged with our rapidly growing number of multilingual students so they can succeed in our rigorous curriculum while mastering English. You'll hear about how Avon Schools relies on regular feedback from parents/guardians, students, and educators to continue improving our programs, making them as effective as possible for all students. Finally, you'll get to listen in on a little bit of the current conversation about how we're working to identify multilingual students who demonstrate high ability so we can accelerate their learning too.

Quotable: 

"We look at the whole child. [Avon is] not only where I work, but where my kids went. I see the growth that we've had — and how we've kept up with that growth — and how we're supporting all students. ... We work tirelessly to figure out how we're going to support all of our kids," Angela Rasor.

"I am very proud of all the hard work that not only our teachers are doing, our students are doing, our administrators are doing -- and we're doing it together. I truly believe we all belong, learn, and grow together," Sarah Pies.
