Each year, the Staff/Curriculum Development Network (S/CDN) acknowledges the need to recognize outstanding individuals among the ranks of its members, as well as individuals whose accomplishments have improved the field of education in New York State. In 2014 S/CDN established the Jane Bullowa S/CDN Service and Leadership Award.
Jane Bullowa was a long-standing member of S/CDN and inspired the educational community in Ulster County for more than 37 years. Jane was a true advocate and visionary, dedicated to meeting the needs of students, teachers and educational leaders in her region and across our State. She was an extraordinary leader and outstanding mentor to aspiring administrators. Many benefited from her wisdom, experience and coaching. Her impact on students will be felt for generations.
The annual selection of the Jane Bullowa Leadership and Service Award is based on four major criteria:
Professional Memberships and Activities
Innovation and Contributions to Education and S/CDN
Impact on Administrator Preparation and/or Quality of Services to Children
