WELCOME
Welcome to the NAESP 2011 Annual Convention & Exposition
Dear Members, Friends, and Colleagues:
On behalf of the NAESP Board of Directors, we welcome you to sunny, culturally enriched Tampa and the NAESP 2011
Annual Convention & Exposition. We are especially excited about this year’s program because it offers a new and
unique blend of focused sessions, an impressive array of expert speakers, and unmatched opportunities to network
and share with your colleagues from across the nation. There is truly something for everyone here this week.
Together we will explore—in a program that features a variety of learning formats—the pressing issues facing
elementary and middle-level principals. (See page 10 for descriptions of the five major focus areas.) You can organize
your time according to focus area by using the color coding next to each session description, or pick and choose from
among the various topics—whatever fits your professional development needs the best.
n
n
n
n
Our General Session speakers, Sir Ken Robinson, an international education expert, and Vernice Armour, the
first female African American combat pilot in the U.S. Marines, bring special and enlightening perspectives on
what students and principals can achieve.
Our five stellar Plenary Session speakers will address topics of great importance to all of us: Leading for
Change, Teacher Evaluation, Teaching and Learning through Technology, and Transforming School Culture—
each scheduled at a dedicated time.
Choose from six Extended Learning Sessions that offer you more in-depth learning opportunities in two- and
three-hour time slots, led by such well-known and trusted experts as renowned education researcher Robert
Marzano, who will speak on Formative Assessment and Standards-Based Grading.
We also have more than 50 Concurrent Sessions scheduled throughout the program, including some offered
twice. New this year are the interactive Knowledge Networks in the Exhibit Hall, offering facilitated discussion
on RTI, formative assessment, teacher management, differentiated instruction, school teams, and more.
Buzzing with activity, the Exhibit Hall is the place to go when you’re not in a session to discover the latest innovations
and products for schools, and to network with fellow attendees. We’ve even set aside dedicated time in the program
just for touring the exhibits! You’ll find two new features this year in the Exhibit Hall—a consolidated NAESP Central
booth for books sales and signings and membership-related activity, as well as a Green Schools Pavilion, showcasing
suppliers and services to help your school become environmentally friendly.
Join us for some fun on Friday evening at the NAESP Welcome Reception, once again graciously sponsored by
LifeTouch, and then help us close out the Convention on Sunday evening at the NAESP President’s Celebration.
We look forward to seeing you there.
With the multitude of learning opportunities we know you will be inspired, your strengths as a leader will be refreshed, and you’ll be better equipped to empower your school to be an effective learning community. Plus, this year
we’ve made it possible for all attendees to have free online access to 35+ recorded sessions, including handouts and
slides, so your learning experience goes home with you, where you can share it with your school team for a full year.
Yes, it’s a new and revitalized Convention, and we hope you enjoy it thoroughly.
Barbara A. Chester, President
Gail Connelly, Executive Director
P.S. Any NAESP Board or staff member will be happy to assist you during your visit to Tampa.
Also, be sure to stop by NAESP Central in the Exhibit Hall for answers to all your membership questions.

Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative
LOCATION: CONVENTION CENTER, 1ST FLOOR, BALLROOM B/C
Urging schools and colleges everywhere to urgently
rethink basic assumptions about intelligence and
achievement, Sir Ken Robinson focuses on the vital
questions: Why is it essential to promote creativity?
What’s the problem? Why do so many adults think they’re
not creative? Most children are buzzing with ideas. What
happens to them as they grow up? What should be
done? Is everyone creative or just a select few? Can creativity be developed?
If so, how? In exploring these questions, Robinson argues for radical changes
in how we educate all students to meet the extraordinary challenges of living
and working in the 21st century. As a respected adviser to governments in
Europe, Asia, and the United States, he argues in this powerful presentation
that many countries are pushing reforms in the wrong direction. Robinson
explains why too many are locked into a model of education shaped by the
Industrial Revolution and a narrow idea of academic ability.

The Power of Professional Learning Communities
to Change the Work We Do in Schools
Transforming the culture of a traditional school into a professional learning
community is a challenge for school leaders. Schools know they “have” to

collective power of the staff into professional learning teams that engage in
collaborative inquiry, commit to high levels of learning for all students, and
utilize data systematically to improve teaching and learning.

12 Surefire Ways to Stop Making Students “Learning
Disabled”
Nationwide, principals report an alarming increase in the number of
students referred for special education intervention. Many of these overreferrals are a direct result of developmentally inappropriate policies and
practices. Join this interactive session on these topics: changing the age/
grade specific, lock-step, time-bound graded structure; reducing curriculum
volume; stopping conflicting education mandates and fads; addressing
social promotion/retention practices; accommodating slower, struggling

Why Is Singapore a High-Performing Nation in
Mathematics? What Administrators Can Learn from
Singapore to Improve Math Instruction in Their
Own Schools
Perhaps you have heard about “Singapore Math” and wonder why their
curriculum is receiving so much attention in this country. Since 1995,
students in Singapore have consistently been among the top performers
in mathematics in the TIMSS studies. This was not always the case. In
the 1980’s, Singapore was concerned about its students’ performance in
mathematics, and set about to change its instructional approach. After 25
years of implementation, the results speak for themselves. In this table talk,
you will learn why their curriculum and instruction is grounded in both
common sense and research-based pedagogy.

The 21st century is here, and at no time in history have we possessed so
much knowledge and wisdom, yet more of our school age children than
ever before are in prison or unemployed or have dropped out of school
altogether. We should ask ourselves: what are we going to do about it?
Ron Edmonds says it best: “We can, whenever and wherever we choose,
successfully teach all children whose schooling is of interest to us. We
already know more than we need in order to do this. Whether we do it must
finally depend on how we feel about the fact that we haven’t so far.” This

Leading for Change: Nine Strategies to Bring Everybody
on Board
LOCATION: CONVENTION CENTER, 1ST FLOOR, BALLROOM B
Change is inevitable; growth is optional. In a rapidly
changing world, educators and their leaders must
choose growth—for themselves personally and for the
organizations they serve—and determine how to
achieve that growth. The journey can seem daunting,
whether following a well-worn path or venturing into
new territory. It helps to remember that others have
made similar choices and taken similar journeys, and we can learn from
them. Learn why the odds of success are greater when everyone—each
person on the school improvement team, each member of the curriculum
committee, and every teacher working to improve classroom instruction—
understands the dynamics of change.

Focusing on What Matters
Challenging situations occurring in today’s schools requires out-of-the-box
leadership. The problem historically has been that there isn’t a guide to help
leaders get out of the box. We will provide a case study format of elementary
schools across a district that have developed a framework to enhance
distributive leadership, create a focus on data, and achieve outstanding
results. Presenters are principals with varying levels of experience who will
aid you in pinpointing where you are in the process and what your next
steps should be.

Complexity and instructional strategies designed to foster differentiation
and higher level thinking. In this session, participants will understand how

Igniting a Passion for Reading: Developing a School
Where Reading Thrives
It is not difficult to find administrators who feel that fostering the love of

How do you facilitate that process in an elementary or middle school? What
does it actually look like on a day-to-day basis in classrooms? The goal of
this session is to offer administrators practical strategies for systemic change
with regard to affecting the culture of their buildings in dynamic ways that
will foster a passionate climate of reading intended to reach every reader.

Between Beliefs and Behaviors
Are you looking for a compass to guide your team through the turmoil of

Making the Most of Teacher Evaluation
In all schools, teacher evaluation is an important
component of ensuring teacher quality, and it also
promotes professional growth. But most educators
acknowledge their approaches fall far short of those
objectives and achieve neither purpose very well. How
can teacher appraisal be improved? How can it be
designed in such a way that it ensures teacher quality,
and represents a process that teachers find professionally rewarding? This
session will provide a model of differentiated teacher appraisal, based on
clear standards of practice and an approach that engages teachers not only
in demonstrating their skill, but in those activities that promote professional
learning: structured opportunities for self-assessment, reflection on practice
and professional conversation.

Finally, schools need to know effective counter measures that help protect
the school community. Come to this session and acquire this important upto-date information.

Cyberbullying Updated
It’s Like Donkey Kong! Taming the Monkey Business,

With an increased rise in absentee parenting, more and more students are
coming to school unprepared and often unwilling to learn. NCLB legislation
and recent media coverage have sent the clear message that our schools
had better get down to business! This session will explore the assertion
that before schools can get down to business, educational leaders MUST

missing element—a core behavioral program to eliminate the monkey
business that impacts teaching and learning.

Finding Your Leadership Focus: What Matters Most for
Student Results
One of the most respected experts in the field of
assessments and standards, Douglas Reeves will address
a major challenge faced by today’s school leaders: an
ever-growing load of programs and initiatives. Drawing
on recent research findings, he will provide you with
explicit guidelines for how school leaders can improve
their most critical leadership decisions by
simultaneously engaging in three essential strategies: monitoring teaching
and leadership practices, building high degrees of efficacy among staff
members, and focusing on a smaller number of priorities.
SPEAKER: Douglas Reeves, The Leadership and Learning Center,
Salem, MA
To prepare today’s youth for 21st century college,
careers, and civic engagement, we must team up. At the
heart of every high performing school, we find a team of
effective educators who join forces to increase student
achievement beyond what even the best of them could
accomplish alone. In this session, Tom Carroll will lead
you an exploration of the steps educators can take
together to build this collaborative culture in today’s schools. This is a great
session for school teams to attend.

It’s Elementary: Let’s Engage Parents in Laying the
Foundation for College and Career Readiness
NBPTS Certification and Teacher Burnout: Implications
for Principals and School
Teachers suffering from burnout, a work-related stress phenomenon, can
have a negative impact on student learning and the overall culture of the
school. Burnout is also associated with high absenteeism, teacher attrition,
and a variety of other problems, and burned out teachers may become
barriers to change and innovation. Infusing components of the National
Board Certification process into the school culture, which can lead to
professional pride, recognition of outstanding teaching practice, higher
salaries, and new leadership roles and responsibilities, may not only alleviate
burnout, but may impact teacher retention rates as well. Participants will
examine the implications of a study which found that National Board
Certified Teachers demonstrated significantly lower levels of burnout in two
of its three dimensions compared to non-certified peers.
SPEAKER: Tanya Judd-Pucella, Marietta College, Marietta, OH
Parent engagement is critical early on to the success of students in school
and beyond. Learn how three schools in The Howard County Public School

Meeting the Challenge of Supervising Three Generations
of Teachers in the Same School
Today’s principals must supervise three distinct generations of teachers in
the same school. While differences between and among the generational
cohorts can create great challenges, they also present many positive
opportunities. This session will address: the understanding the traits of
each generational cohort; crossing the generational divide… finding
common ground; how to address the nuances of each generation of
teachers; ways to draw on the strengths of each cohort; understanding how
each cohort ‘renorms’ society; and collaboration tips for working through
generational differences.

On the “Wright” Collaborative Journey at Wright
Elementary
Are your grade level teams differentiating to meet student learning
expectations? Wright School’s PLC teams use a process that provides
a systematic approach to analyzing student formative and summative
assessments which results in flexible and fluid grouping of students for
differentiated instruction. Grade-level teams collaborate to determine
appropriate instructional strategies aligned to the targeted learning needs
of each student. Aligning district expectations + building SIP goals + gradelevel SMART goals = student achievement!

voice and choice, continuous check and adjust, clear learning targets and
assessments, and a commitment of support from all stakeholders.The RISC
model has changed how we think about student learning. Administrators
are devoted to leading to reinvent schools for all children in Maine and
across the country.

Transforming School Culture: How to Overcome
Staff Division
Anthony Muhammad explores many aspects of human
behavior, social conditions, and history to reveal best
practices for transforming toxic cultures into healthy
ones to improve learning for all students. Drawing from
an extensive study of 34 schools from around the U.S.,
he introduces readers to four typical groups of
educators: the Believers who are committed to the
learning of each student and who operate assuming that their efforts can
make an enormous difference; the Fundamentalists as preservers of the
status quo; the Tweeners who are typically new to a school staff, attempting
to learn its prevailing culture; and the Survivors who are so overwhelmed by
the stress and demands of the profession that their primary goal is to make
it through the day, the week, and the year. Learn the underlying tensions
that result from these groups working together, their prevailing beliefs, and
the resulting dynamics that ultimately determine school culture. Specific
strategies for working with each group will help administrators create a
positive atmosphere conducive to changes that maximize organizational
effectiveness for the benefit of all students.

National Association of Elementary School Principals in partnership with Minnesota Elementary School Principals’ Association is proud to present:
LEADING FOR LEARNING IN CULTURALLY DIVERSE ENVIRONMENTS:
PUTTING COGNITIVE RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE
Presenters Marcus Conyers and Donna
Wilson are well-known, engaging presenters
of their brain-based leading, teaching, and
reading research. Founders of BrainSMART,
through 30 years of research in psychology
and brain science, have incorporated strategies in putting cognitive and
brain research into practice in educational settings.
This three-day program is specifically designed for principals, teacher
leaders, and curriculum developers to gain awareness and understanding
of how students learn and how adults teach that affects the education
and social dynamics within your school. Days one and two will be
focused on the principal with his/her leadership team and day three is
for principals only to develop a school plan for program implementation.
An alignment of the NAESP Leading Learning Communities: Standards for
What Principals Should Know and Be Able to Do with the brain research
instructional strategies will guide the program focus.
You will:
• apply the “inside out” approach to understand diversity;
• understand the power of culture in influencing perception, thinking,
and behavior;
• decipher students’ and teachers’ “nonverbal” signals;
• help students sustain focused attention;
• discover tools that help students transfer learning;
• learn practices for effectively working with teacher leaders to nurture
successful instructional practices, and
• develop a plan for your school!

INVEST IN THE FUTURE!
NAESP National Mentor Training and Certification Program
Whether you are giving back to the profession as an
experienced principal or leading school district initiatives
to support new administrators, participation in the NAESP
Mentor Certification Program provides for you the core training
necessary to ensure the conditions are present for a novice
principal’s success. NAESP’s commitment to our future leaders
through support, engagement, critical conversations, and
networking is essential as our profession serves the future
leaders who will make the changes needed in schools across
the country.
In fact, principals have traditionally been thrown into their
jobs without a life jacket and expected to sink or swim. Having
someone help anticipate challenges and discuss solutions
before they become critical issues benefits the new leader,
as well as the school district, and the mentor. Join the NAESP
mentor community of high-quality professionals assuming the
responsibility for the success of school leaders.
