Douglas Reeves Speaking Topics
If we have learned anything during the past two decades of the standards movement, it is that merely delivering a set of standards to the schoolhouse door accomplished nothing. In this interactive presentation, Dr. Reeves identifies the "worst practices" in standards implementation and creates a vision for engaging the intellectual and emotional energy or teachers, students, parents, and educational leaders.
With landmark new research, Dr. Reeves provides the latest evidence from a dynamic system linking teaching, learning, and leadership. Accountability and evaluation have been the toxic waste dump of education, humiliating, and alienating students, teachers, and administrators. "It doesn't have to be that way," says Reeves. "We can use accountability as a learning system." The hallmarks of this new research represent three essential shifts. First, accountability changes from summative to formative - teachers and leaders received feedback throughout the year. Second, it is reciprocal - rather than teachers evaluated by administrators and principals evaluated by superintendents, accountability is an interactive process in which both the person assessed and the assessor make contributions to the evidence. Third, it is real-time and future-oriented rather than retrospective and backward-oriented. "The fundamental purpose of accountability is not to rate, rank, and humiliate," Reeves concludes, "but to improve system performance. That is what the new generation of leadership and teacher evaluations can do."
In this provocative keynote address, Dr. Reeves challenges the conventional wisdom about change leadership. Does system-level change really take five to seven years? Is an implementation dip necessary? Is stakeholder buy-in a precondition of significant change? With compelling evidence from different research perspectives, Dr. Reeves challenges these and other prevailing notions of change leadership. In addition, Dr. Reeves addresses these critical topics for educators, school leaders, and policymakers.
