About Olympia Della Flora
Olympia Della Flora M.Ed. wants to seek solutions versus focusing on problems. Perhaps this is the reason why she became a principal at one of the lowest performing schools in Ohio. She believes that it truly takes a village to improve schools. As a result, Olympia has found ways to engage multiple stakeholders in this work including students, staff, parents, and community leaders. Through focusing on this philosophy, Olympia Della Flora was able to successfully lead efforts that proliferated her elementary school in Ohio out of failing status with the state.
Olympia attributes this success to collaborating with community partners and providing ongoing professional development for staff around social emotional learning supports for students. She strongly believes that schools should seek ways to address and support the whole child when it comes to learning, addressing not only academics but social emotional outcomes as well. Olympia currently supervises and supports principals as the Associate Superintendent for School Development in a public school system.
Olympia Della Flora is now expanding globally her passion to consult, speak, coach, train, and provide professional development skills that will ultimately allow students to succeed. As a life-long learner, Olympia shares tips from the experience that she has acquired from interviewing administrators, working with educators and community leaders via her podcast; these speaking engagements are sought out in hopes that they will aspire us all to educate, cultivate, thrive and Flourish.
