EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM
A former engineer and businessman, Rob Stannard was a specialist in the improvement of logistical and human systems. He had a particular expertise in the use (and misuse) of technology in problem-solving.
In education, Stannard’s passion has been for STEM, English language learners and Gifted & Talented, as well as a holistic approach to student development. Classroom experience as a middle school math teacher ignited an early interest in school improvement and the need for innovation in raising expectations for all students.
Stannard’s previous experience includes Assessment Coordinator for an intercity charter school, the Director of Student Services for the Charter School Institute and Superintendent of the Yuma-1 school district. Stannard was one of the founders of the Colorado Digital BOCES, he also ran (and was one of the founders) of a STEM/Aerospace-based learning center at the Wings Over The Rockies Air & Space Museum.
Although never on active duty with the military, CMA families may be interested to hear that Stannard attended The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, a family tradition. Seeking a second career, he entered the graduate school leadership program at Denver University to obtain licensure in 2002.
