Andrew Jordan from Stockton, Illinois, demonstrates effective educational leadership through teamwork and a commitment to continuous learning. After excelling as a football quarterback, he pursued degrees in education, including two master's. His leadership approach prioritizes listening to the school community, leading to action such as securing significant grants for educational programs. This process involved building trust and planning, which culminated in a remodeled school library. His philosophy embodies a dedication to serving students and improving educational practices through collaboration and responsiveness to community needs.
Andrew taught me what teamwork really means. It also taught me how to lose with your head up.
I never wanted to stop learning. The more I learned, the more I realized how much work there is to do in education.
People assume leaders do all the talking. But the best stuff I've learned came from listening-to teachers, to parents, to students.
These grants didn't come easy. It took planning and trust. But they helped us build programs that actually serve kids.
