Dr. Larry Aronstein represents the consummate professional educator. He spent 46 years in public education, having started as a teacher, then working as a principal at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, and retiring as Superintendent of Schools of the Glen Cove Public Schools.  More recently, he served as the Interim Superintendent of the North Babylon Public Schools.

Dr. Aronstein is the founder of Educational Performance Consultants. He consults and trains school leaders in how to effectively observe and evaluation staff, among other projects.

Many credit Aronstein with leading the Glen Cove and Copiague school districts into periods of renaissance. Aronstein relishes the challenge of coaching supervisors and teachers to excel as instructional leaders.

Long before moving to Long Island, Aronstein was lauded for his superior leadership skills, winning the Massachusetts Principal of the Year award. In addition, during his tenure at the John Glenn Middle School in Bedford, Mass., the school was awarded the prestigious National Recognition Award, which he received at the White House by George H.W. Bush.

He has published dozens of articles in leading educational periodicals, including Educational Leadership, NASSP Bulletin, Science Teacher, and Action Learning, an ASCD publication. He has consulted in districts throughout the country, and in Germany. He was the founder and director of the highly respected Long Island Leadership Academy, mentoring scores of educational leaders throughout Long Island.

He is thrilled to lead the Wyandanch Union Free School District for the 2024-2025 school year as the Interim Superintendent.
