DIOCESE OF FORT WAYNE-SOUTH BEND ADMINISTRATOR TO RECEIVE NCA’S JOHN VAUGHN AWARD
Jo Ann Roscoe, associate superintendent of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, is one of 13 educators who will receive the 2007 John Vaughn Excellence in Education Award from the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI) at the Annual Conference of the Commission held on April 2, 2007, in Chicago.
Every year NCA CASI invites teachers, administrators, students, parents and community representatives to nominate people who motivate students to high levels of achievement, involve the community in substantive aspects of schooling, expand programs and services to meet the varying needs of students, and/or demonstrate a pioneering spirit that enables all schools and districts to move forward. The Commission then selects individuals to receive the award from across a 19-state region, including the Navajo Nation and the Department of Defense Education Activity. The award honors the memory of Dr. John W. Vaughn, who was executive director of NCA CASI prior to his death in 1986.
Ms. Roscoe’s letter of nomination states, “…the number of schools and students who have benefited from Jo Ann’s passion for excellence attests to her mission, which is to serve children and educators wherever and whenever she can. She has worked tirelessly not only for the North Central Association but most importantly for the schools she serves as administrator, chair and coach.”
Ms. Roscoe holds a master’s degree in secondary education from the University of St. Francis and has completed advanced certification requirements in secondary administration from Indiana University. She is former teacher, coach and assistant principal of Bishop Luers High School in Fort Wayne. She is a school improvement facilitator for Indiana NCA CASI, is a trained NCA ambassador and has served as an NCA visiting external chair for over 60 schools in northeast Indiana.
