Paolo DeMaria (Superintendent of Public Instruction, Ohio
Department of Education)
Colleagues know Paolo DeMaria as a passionate leader, a
tireless worker, a respectful listener and an energetic advocate for Ohio’s 1.7
million students. All are qualities he has called on daily during his tenure as
Ohio’s superintendent of public instruction. His proudest accomplishment is the
Ohio Department of Education’s partnership with stakeholders to develop Each
Child, Our Future, Ohio’s strategic plan for education. He devotes his energy
to realizing Ohio’s vision that each child is challenged to discover and learn,
prepared to pursue a fulfilling post-high school path and empowered to become a
resilient, lifelong learner who contributes to society. Mr. DeMaria believes
that everyone shares the responsibility of preparing children for successful
futures. With educators, partners, community organizations and parents working
together, Ohio’s 3,600 schools and thousands of teachers can create bright
futures for our students and state.
John Richard (Deputy Superintendent, Ohio Department of
Education)
Mr. Richard believes every Ohio school and district should
have outstanding leaders. Fueling that conviction are more than 10 years of
experience as a part-time instructor in the University of Akron’s school
principalship program and 30 years of field experience ranging from classroom
teacher to district superintendent. As a district leader, he saw steady gains
in student performance from 2005-2013.
As deputy superintendent of Ohio schools, Richard works
closely with the four primary program centers of the Ohio Department of
Education. The centers oversee all initiatives related to student supports,
continuous improvement, performance and impact, and teaching, leading and
learning. Richard continues to focus on leadership development by overseeing
ongoing professional development sessions for the Department’s senior leaders.
Richard speaks frequently to Ohio education groups about the critical impact of
excellent educational leadership both on students’ lives and Ohio’s future.
