Ron Dayton’s professional life as an educator will reach its 50th year in 2020-2021. Graduating from Aurora University in 1971, Ron began as a 5th grade teacher in Batavia, IL and crafting his classroom experience for six years in grades 2-5 in Naperville, IL. During this time, he accomplished Master’s Degrees in Curriculum and Instruction and in Administration from Northern Illinois University. A combination Principalship / K-6 Teacher of the Gifted assignment began an administrative career that extended into Principalships and Assistant Superintendency / Superintendency experiences in the rural, western suburban and near suburban metro-Chicago area. Those 29 years led to the opportunity to serve the Cambridge, WI School District as Superintendent for 12 years.

Upon retirement, Ron entered the consultant world, trained in SMART Goals, EE and EP, and skill applications in multiple methods of Strategic Planning, including training in Covey’s 7 Habits. This has led to a number of trainings, presentations, and strategic planning leadership team works.

Ron joined the CESA 2 Team at the inception of the Liaison Project and took a lead in establishing its purposes and outcomes. The key to this plan was the fundamental focus on CESA 2 ever-becoming and being “relevant” to the Districts it serves and all who seek CESA 2 for ideas and support.
