About Peter Pappas


		About Peter Pappas
		I am proud of my 34-year career in education. Especially the many years I spent as a teacher. For nearly 20 years, I have worked with school districts, leading educational organizations and companies to improve the quality of teaching and learning. I am a senior consultant with Willard Daggett's International Center for Leadership in Education. In 2005, I retired from East Irondequoit Central Schools where I served as Assistant Superintendent for Instruction. Previously I was the K-12 Director of Social Studies at Pittsford Central Schools, where I also taught high school social studies for 25 years.
