Описание: Arbor View Elementary School instructional coach Nick Ludolph is the Community Consolidated School District 89 Educator of the Year. At the Glen Ellyn Community Awards on March 10, Ludolph will be honored by the Chamber of Commerce for making Glen Ellyn a better place to live, learn, and work.

Ludolph started his educational career in 2018 as a classroom aide in District 200. He joined CCSD 89 as a long-term substitute teacher at Arbor View in 2019. He then taught third grade at Arbor View for the next five years.

This is Ludolph’s second year as an instructional coach in CCSD 89. In that role, he works with students and teachers across all grade levels to strengthen instructional practices.

“Nick brings such a calm energy to learning,” said Arbor View principal Dawn McCray. “He leads by example. He leads by his student outcomes. He leads by others seeking him out for advice.”
