Recognizing and Rewarding People Making a Difference

KASCD Acknowledges Excellence

While seeing a student grasp a difficult concept is to many, a reward in and of itself, acknowledging the hard work, creativity and dedication that makes these individual successes possible is no less important.

Each year the Kansas Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (KASCD) takes time to recognize the contributions of individuals working as curriculum leaders, teachers, educators, and assessment leaders.

The presentation of awards, scholarships and grants each year at the annual KASCD Luncheon, gives our membership a chance to hear about and acknowledge the great work being done on behalf of each learner in the state of Kansas.

A Sample of Our 2006-2007 Award Winners

2007 Outstanding Curriculum Leader Award Winner
Dr. Jan Voss, Assistant Superintendent, Ark City, KS.

Due in large part to Dr. Voss's leadership, Ark City USD 470 can boast of incredible alignment, in-depth staff development, countless standard of excellence scores, Academic Coaches at all levels, additional millions in grants, awards at the state and national level, and blue ribbon schools. Voss’s many nominators shared strikingly similar sentiments, saying things such as "Jan has gotten her staff to buy-in to the vision that all kids can learn," and "Jan has taken a high minority, low income district and has demonstrated what learning for ALL students is." Another said, “Jan knows how to laugh, to commit to the highest level and to step back when necessary and simply listen and be there for others. She maintains a sense of humor, openness with colleagues, and an incredible humbleness and willingness to share. She is truly an outstanding person!” “Dr. Jan Voss is brilliant, and she pushes herself more than anyone – she often works 80 hr. weeks doing both the enormous C & I duties, along with the Personnel duties. She is always calm, and her sense of humor and ability to see the big picture is inspiring. She is my hero.”
