Pedroso receives PASA Instructional Leadership award
Kennett Consolidated School District Curriculum Supervisor Jane Pedroso, has been named the recipient of the 2008 Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators Award for Instructional Leadership.The annual award, co-sponsored by PASA) and EI Associates of Harrisburg, recognizes a school administrator who has demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching and learning by developing, nurturing and supporting exemplary programs that support the academic achievement of particular student populations or enrich student learning in a particular content area.
In choosing Pedroso from among this year's nominees, the selection committee noted her exceptional commitment to enhancing student reading skills.
In addition they found that Pedroso has shown great leadership in developing strategies to improve instruction at Kennett Consolidated. Her colleagues describe her as a very effective and reliable communicator with an innate ability to build and maintain relationships among staff at all levels. Her leadership in developing and implementing the district's full-day kindergarten program for students needing the additional educational "boost" has resulted in an exemplary and successful district program - the Learning Enhancement Academic Program.
This past year she initiated a school community project aimed at enriching the reading curriculum at Mary D. Lang Elementary School, which has a school-wide Title I program. With a grant from the Kennett Educational Foundation, Jane worked in collaboration with a student and several colleagues - and her own Shetland sheepdog - to develop "Pobrecito," a bilingual book focused on improving reading, particularly among English language learners. Because the book is uniquely a Kennett Consolidated project, both children and staff have an exciting and personal interest in the story - and in reading.
Noting her enthusiasm and creative leadership within the district, the selection committee concluded that all of Ms. Pedroso's efforts are aimed at developing good readers, supporting teachers and furthering instructional excellence in the district.
Kathleen Kelley, 2007-2008 PASA President, acknowledged Pedroso on Oct. 16 at the PASA Recognition Luncheon during this year's Annual Leadership Conference at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center in Hershey.
