Conference<br />
I contacted TW Branun & Associates to provide profiles on speakers whose<br />
area of expertise is "Skills Administrators need to make sustainable changes".<br />
The PD Sub-committee met on April 11th and reviewed the profiles. The top<br />
three choices were Michael Fullan, Mike McKay & Tim Lucas. Michael<br />
Fullan was not available, and after discussing the topic in further detail with<br />
Kate Hill, Speakers Bureau Coordinator, it was decided Tim Lucas would be<br />
the best match.<br />
Tim Lucas is Peter Senge 's co-author of the educational field book titled "Schools That<br />
Learn: A Fifth Discipline Fieldbook", awarded 2001 Book of the Year by the National Staff<br />
Development Council. A former Principal, and School Superintendent, he is currently<br />
Director of Curriculum & Instruction and Co-chair of The Crisis Response Team in<br />
Glenrock, New Jersey (a community 13 miles from New York City, dramatically impacted by<br />
the events of 9-11). He designed activities and offered training for the counselors and school<br />
support staff from the "Schools that Fled" in NYC, located in the neighborhoods of the World<br />
Trade Center and coordinated the development of a ten district Crisis Flight Team made up<br />
of school support staff and guidance counselors to support students, staff and parents during<br />
traumatic and school-based crisis.<br />
Recent Presentations and Projects include: "Schools That Are Learning Organizations,"<br />
"Systems Tools for Supporting and Evaluating Performance ", "Building a Learning<br />
Organization with Mapping and Modeling," "Building a Sustainable Learning Community, "<br />
"Creating Rivers of Change: Sustainable Transformation in Schools'" and "Making<br />
Sustainable changes in the Deeper Structures of Schools. "<br />
Tim has been booked for December 4th, <strong>2003</strong>, 9:00 to 3:30, Victoria Inn,<br />
Brandon. I will be emailing & talking to Tim this month to provide him with<br />
more specific details on our topic.<br />
