WELCOME<br />

Welcome to <strong>the</strong> NAESP 2011 Annual <strong>Convention</strong> & Exposition<br />

Dear Members, Friends, and Colleagues:<br />

On behalf <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> NAESP Board <strong>of</strong> Directors, we welcome you to sunny, culturally enriched Tampa and <strong>the</strong> NAESP 2011<br />

Annual <strong>Convention</strong> & Exposition. We are especially excited about this year’s program because it <strong>of</strong>fers a new and<br />

unique blend <strong>of</strong> focused sessions, an impressive array <strong>of</strong> expert speakers, and unmatched opportunities to network<br />

and share with your colleagues from across <strong>the</strong> nation. There is truly something <strong>for</strong> everyone here this week.<br />

Toge<strong>the</strong>r we will explore—in a program that features a variety <strong>of</strong> learning <strong>for</strong>mats—<strong>the</strong> pressing issues facing<br />

elementary and middle-level principals. (See page 10 <strong>for</strong> descriptions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> five major focus areas.) You can organize<br />

your time according to focus area by using <strong>the</strong> color coding next to each session description, or pick and choose from<br />

among <strong>the</strong> various topics—whatever fits your pr<strong>of</strong>essional development needs <strong>the</strong> best.<br />

n Our General Session speakers, Sir Ken Robinson, an international education expert, and Vernice Armour, <strong>the</strong><br />

first female African American combat pilot in <strong>the</strong> U.S. Marines, bring special and enlightening perspectives on<br />

what students and principals can achieve.<br />

n Our five stellar Plenary Session speakers will address topics <strong>of</strong> great importance to all <strong>of</strong> us: Leading <strong>for</strong><br />

Change, Teacher Evaluation, Teaching and Learning through Technology, and Trans<strong>for</strong>ming School Culture—<br />

each scheduled at a dedicated time.<br />

n Choose from six Extended Learning Sessions that <strong>of</strong>fer you more in-depth learning opportunities in two- and<br />

three-hour time slots, led by such well-known and trusted experts as renowned education researcher Robert<br />

Marzano, who will speak on Formative Assessment and Standards-Based Grading.<br />

n We also have more than 50 Concurrent Sessions scheduled throughout <strong>the</strong> program, including some <strong>of</strong>fered<br />

twice. New this year are <strong>the</strong> interactive Knowledge Networks in <strong>the</strong> Exhibit Hall, <strong>of</strong>fering facilitated discussion<br />

on RTI, <strong>for</strong>mative assessment, teacher management, differentiated instruction, school teams, and more.<br />

Buzzing with activity, <strong>the</strong> Exhibit Hall is <strong>the</strong> place to go when you’re not in a session to discover <strong>the</strong> latest innovations<br />

and products <strong>for</strong> schools, and to network with fellow attendees. We’ve even set aside dedicated time in <strong>the</strong> program<br />

just <strong>for</strong> touring <strong>the</strong> exhibits! You’ll find two new features this year in <strong>the</strong> Exhibit Hall—a consolidated NAESP Central<br />

booth <strong>for</strong> books sales and signings and membership-related activity, as well as a Green Schools Pavilion, showcasing<br />

suppliers and services to help your school become environmentally friendly.<br />

Join us <strong>for</strong> some fun on Friday evening at <strong>the</strong> NAESP Welcome Reception, once again graciously sponsored by<br />

LifeTouch, and <strong>the</strong>n help us close out <strong>the</strong> <strong>Convention</strong> on Sunday evening at <strong>the</strong> NAESP President’s Celebration.<br />

We look <strong>for</strong>ward to seeing you <strong>the</strong>re.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> multitude <strong>of</strong> learning opportunities we know you will be inspired, your strengths as a leader will be refreshed,<br />

and you’ll be better equipped to empower your school to be an effective learning community. Plus, this year<br />

we’ve made it possible <strong>for</strong> all attendees to have free online access to 35+ recorded sessions, including handouts and<br />

slides, so your learning experience goes home with you, where you can share it with your school team <strong>for</strong> a full year.<br />

Yes, it’s a new and revitalized <strong>Convention</strong>, and we hope you enjoy it thoroughly.<br />

GENERAL SESSION<br />

10 – 11:30 a.m.<br />

Out <strong>of</strong> Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative<br />

LOCATION: CONVENTION CENTER, 1ST FLOOR, BALLROOM B/C<br />

Urging schools and colleges everywhere to urgently<br />

rethink basic assumptions about intelligence and<br />

achievement, Sir Ken Robinson focuses on <strong>the</strong> vital<br />

questions: Why is it essential to promote creativity?<br />

What’s <strong>the</strong> problem? Why do so many adults think <strong>the</strong>y’re<br />

not creative? Most children are buzzing with ideas. What<br />

happens to <strong>the</strong>m as <strong>the</strong>y grow up? What should be<br />

done? Is everyone creative or just a select few? Can creativity be developed?<br />

If so, how? In exploring <strong>the</strong>se questions, Robinson argues <strong>for</strong> radical changes<br />

in how we educate all students to meet <strong>the</strong> extraordinary challenges <strong>of</strong> living<br />

and working in <strong>the</strong> 21st century. As a respected adviser to governments in<br />

Europe, Asia, and <strong>the</strong> United States, he argues in this powerful presentation<br />

that many countries are pushing re<strong>for</strong>ms in <strong>the</strong> wrong direction. Robinson<br />

explains why too many are locked into a model <strong>of</strong> education shaped by <strong>the</strong><br />

Industrial Revolution and a narrow idea <strong>of</strong> academic ability.<br />

12 Surefire Ways to Stop Making Students “Learning<br />

Disabled”<br />

Nationwide, principals report an alarming increase in <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong><br />

students referred <strong>for</strong> special education intervention. Many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se overreferrals<br />

are a direct result <strong>of</strong> developmentally inappropriate policies and<br />

practices. Join this interactive session on <strong>the</strong>se topics: changing <strong>the</strong> age/<br />

grade specific, lock-step, time-bound graded structure; reducing curriculum<br />

volume; stopping conflicting education mandates and fads; addressing<br />

social promotion/retention practices; accommodating slower, struggling<br />

learners; and helping late bloomers placed in <strong>the</strong> wrong grade. Grant<br />

will demonstrate strategies which will help reduce special needs<br />

referrals by modifying school policies and changing curriculum and<br />

instructional practices.<br />

SPEAKER: Jim Grant, Staff Development <strong>for</strong> Educators, Peterborough, NH<br />

Aiming <strong>for</strong> Automaticity with Math Facts: How<br />

Administrators Can Make It Happen!<br />

Math facts are to math what sight words are to reading. Many students<br />

and automaticity with math facts. This lack <strong>of</strong> automaticity or fluency<br />

slows down students or even prevents <strong>the</strong>m from working with multi-digit<br />

operations, fractions, and algebra. How can administrators help <strong>the</strong>ir schools<br />

improve students’ understanding and automaticity with math facts? During<br />

this table talk, specific research-based methods and ideas will be shared to<br />

help your students improve <strong>the</strong>ir number sense and achievement.<br />

SPEAKER: Char Forsten, Staff Development <strong>for</strong> Educators, Peterborough, NH<br />

Common T-Shirts Don’t Make a Team<br />

Principals want teachers to work collaboratively in pr<strong>of</strong>essional learning<br />

Why Is Singapore a High-Per<strong>for</strong>ming Nation in<br />

Ma<strong>the</strong>matics? What Administrators Can Learn from<br />

Singapore to Improve Math Instruction in Their<br />

Own Schools<br />

curriculum is receiving so much attention in this country. Since 1995,<br />

students in Singapore have consistently been among <strong>the</strong> top per<strong>for</strong>mers<br />

n Making <strong>the</strong> Most <strong>of</strong> Teacher Evaluation<br />

LOCATION: CONVENTION CENTER, 1ST FLOOR, BALLROOM B<br />

In all schools, teacher evaluation is an important<br />

component <strong>of</strong> ensuring teacher quality, and it also<br />

promotes pr<strong>of</strong>essional growth. But most educators<br />

acknowledge <strong>the</strong>ir approaches fall far short <strong>of</strong> those<br />

objectives and achieve nei<strong>the</strong>r purpose very well. How<br />

can teacher appraisal be improved? How can it be<br />

designed in such a way that it ensures teacher quality,<br />

and represents a process that teachers find pr<strong>of</strong>essionally rewarding? This<br />

session will provide a model <strong>of</strong> differentiated teacher appraisal, based on<br />

clear standards <strong>of</strong> practice and an approach that engages teachers not only<br />

in demonstrating <strong>the</strong>ir skill, but in those activities that promote pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

learning: structured opportunities <strong>for</strong> self-assessment, reflection on practice<br />

and pr<strong>of</strong>essional conversation.<br />

n NBPTS Certification and Teacher Burnout: Implications<br />

<strong>for</strong> Principals and School<br />

LOCATION: CONVENTION CENTER, 1ST FLOOR, ROOM 9<br />

Teachers suffering from burnout, a work-related stress phenomenon, can<br />

have a negative impact on student learning and <strong>the</strong> overall culture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

school. Burnout is also associated with high absenteeism, teacher attrition,<br />

and a variety <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r problems, and burned out teachers may become<br />

barriers to change and innovation. Infusing components <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>National</strong><br />

Board Certification process into <strong>the</strong> school culture, which can lead to<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional pride, recognition <strong>of</strong> outstanding teaching practice, higher<br />

salaries, and new leadership roles and responsibilities, may not only alleviate<br />

burnout, but may impact teacher retention rates as well. Participants will<br />

examine <strong>the</strong> implications <strong>of</strong> a study which found that <strong>National</strong> Board<br />

Certified Teachers demonstrated significantly lower levels <strong>of</strong> burnout in two<br />

<strong>of</strong> its three dimensions compared to non-certified peers.<br />

SPEAKER: Tanya Judd-Pucella, Marietta College, Marietta, OH<br />

expectations? Wright School’s PLC teams use a process that provides<br />

a systematic approach to analyzing student <strong>for</strong>mative and summative<br />

assessments which results in flexible and fluid grouping <strong>of</strong> students <strong>for</strong><br />

differentiated instruction. Grade-level teams collaborate to determine<br />

appropriate instructional strategies aligned to <strong>the</strong> targeted learning needs<br />

<strong>of</strong> each student. Aligning district expectations + building SIP goals + gradelevel<br />

SMART goals = student achievement!<br />

Anthony Muhammad explores many aspects <strong>of</strong> human<br />

behavior, social conditions, and history to reveal best<br />

practices <strong>for</strong> trans<strong>for</strong>ming toxic cultures into healthy<br />

ones to improve learning <strong>for</strong> all students. Drawing from<br />

an extensive study <strong>of</strong> 34 schools from around <strong>the</strong> U.S.,<br />

he introduces readers to four typical groups <strong>of</strong><br />

educators: <strong>the</strong> Believers who are committed to <strong>the</strong><br />

learning <strong>of</strong> each student and who operate assuming that <strong>the</strong>ir ef<strong>for</strong>ts can<br />

make an enormous difference; <strong>the</strong> Fundamentalists as preservers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

C<br />

status quo; <strong>the</strong> Tweeners who are typically new to a school staff, attempting<br />

M<br />

to learn its prevailing culture; and <strong>the</strong> Survivors who are so overwhelmed by<br />

Y<br />

<strong>the</strong> stress and demands <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>ession that <strong>the</strong>ir primary goal is to make CM<br />

MY<br />

it through <strong>the</strong> day, <strong>the</strong> week, and <strong>the</strong> year. Learn <strong>the</strong> underlying tensions<br />

CY<br />

that result from <strong>the</strong>se groups working toge<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong>ir prevailing beliefs, and<br />

CMY<br />

<strong>the</strong> resulting dynamics that ultimately determine school culture. Specific<br />
