History and Background
Dr. John Readling, the founder of the program, retired in 1991, leaving a legacy of excellence in the preparation of school leaders that is unparalleled in New York State. Oswego graduates currently serve as assistant principals, principals, directors, assistant superintendents, superintendents, district superintendents, assistant state commissioners and state commissioners of education.
From 1985 until 2001, Dr. Linda Tinelli Sheive chaired the Department. Dr. Sheive built on the strength of the past and prepared for the future through innovative curricular and programmatic initiatives. From 2001 through 2010, Dr. Suzanne Gilmour provided leadership for Educational Administration Department. Beginning the Spring of 2011, Ms. Angela Perrotto will be at the helm of the Educational Administration Department.
For more than three decades the department has demanded that students work in teams in all courses. As a result, Oswego EAD alumni are known for their ability to lead teams and for their strong professional networks.
The development of issue analysis teams and a focus on authentic learning make SUNY Oswego's Educational Administration program unique and ensure that the Oswego program is on the cutting edge of leadership preparation in the nation.
