Welcome to Paideia!  My name is Jill Godtland, and I am the Director at Paideia Academy.  I have a B.A. in Political, Legal, and Economic Analysis and Communications, and my M.S. is in Education.  My educational career began in California where I worked for another start-up charter school for 5 years. My family and I relocated to Minnesota on January 1, 2004.  It was then that I began working for the University of Minnesota in the Center for School Change.  I was able to work with many charter schools there, but I missed the students.  After much research, I found Paideia Academy.  I knew this was a school that I would want my children to attend and with which I would love working.  Both my son and daughter attend Paideia. 

I have worked extensively with charter schools, and I cannot imagine going back to a traditional public school.  The ability to affect such change within a school it what attracts such highly qualified teachers.  The influence of parents, students and teachers is undeniable.  And Paideia is a shining example of what a great charter school can do.
