McPherson & Jacobson, LLCDCPSSuperintendent Search

Dear Board Members:

Large urban school systems in America offer an extraordinary range of programs, courses, andexperiences for students. DCPShas more than its share of award-winning schools, programs, teachers,and students. But urban school systems also exhibit high dropout rates, chronic absenteeism ofstudents (and staff), challenging school climate issues, and low performing students and schools.Americans have settled on the argument that poverty, native language, parental education levels, andother factors are responsible for these differentiated, largely statistically predictable, results.

Living and working full-time as a Visiting Professor at the National University of Singapore for the pastyear has poignantly reminded me that our national narrative for urban schools is self-fulfilling prophecy.Singapore is one of several Asian nations (e.g., South Korea, Taiwan) that went from third world to firstworld status in underSO years. In Singapore's first elementary exit exam in 1960, only 45% passed andentered secondary schools. Even in the late 1970s, 30% of elementary students did not enter secondaryschools. Today, almost 100% of Singaporean students receive 10 years of formal education and 93% ofhigh school graduates pursue some form of post-secondary education'. It is not accidental that Singaporeis consistently ranked on competitiveness #1 in the world. Education ~a family's top priority, whatevertheir ethnic and linguistic background, and considerable sacrifices are made to obtain marks sufficient toadvance within Singapore's highly competitive, test-oriented, system of formal education.

I am not suggesting that DCPSbecome like Singapore -this is neither possible nor desirable. The keylesson is that determined efforts by adults working together for the individual and collective future ofchildren and youth can, and do, make a profound difference on the educational and socioeconomicdestinies of those who will, in Paul Goodman's memorable phrase, "go to a future we do not see."

I want to apply my considerable experience, expertise, passion, vision, and energy to workcollaboratively with the adults of Jacksonville (parents, teachers, staff, Board, community leaders,academics) so that children and youth can flourish intellectually, socially, emotionally, and spiritually(however it is conceived). The work I did as a Director at the RI Department of Elementary andSecondary Education (RIDE) equips me fully for Superintendent of DCPS. RI as a state had at the time,very roughly speaking, the same number of schools, teachers, and square miles as DCPS.The 37 districtsin this city-state were likely as diverse as the several hundred somewhat distinct neighborhoods of JAX.Over 60 native languages were formally recognized in the urban core. I worked statewide for nine yearson major improvement efforts in education - especially concentrating on the five cities of RI where thebulk Of students resided and where poverty was widespread (Providence, East Providence, Central Falls,Woonsocket, and Pawtucket).

I am a nationally acknowledged expert on educational accountability, designing and implementing astatewide system in RI that won national awards and considerable attention for its sophisticatedapproach to providing rich information to inform decision making. Our system, created in a unique andlong-lasting collaboration with the University of RI (URI), included: 1) hierarchical linear modeling topredict scores based on various demographic characteristics along with absolute scores againststandards and details of the performance of subpopulations within each school, 2) accounting for ALL

students ina school (long before this became a NCLB requirement), 3) detailed reports on schooldiscipline matters, 4) standard charters of accounts to enable district by district and school by schoolfinancial comparisons, 5) data derived from biannual surveys of teachers, students, parents, andadministrators, 6) trend lines for achievement using three-year rolling averages rather than reportinginherently unstable year-to-year changes, and 7) calculating an annual prospective dropout rate for thestate as a whole and each of its high schools (l.e., the percentage of today's s" graders who willgraduate if current trends continue - with time to still powerfully intervene). Transitioning to FCAT, FLDepartment of Education procedures, and providing an informed district perspective to the state will besecond nature to me.

I led major efforts to create for the first time in the state, curriculum frameworks in a number of areasand worked in close collaboration with colleagues in assessment to create, implement, and utilize theresults of the New Standards Reference Examinations and performance-based writing assessments. Weformed a pioneering assessment consortium with several other New England states that remains activeto this day. I transformed the Department's IT systems at the request of the Commissioner, transitioningus into Oracle (relational database), creating online reporting forms for schools and districts, andworking with university partners at URI and Brown University to form a statewide Internet2 consortiumwhich provided state of the art video conferencing for all of the state's public and private schools,universities, and state agencies. I represented the Commissioner in many meetings of various bodieswithin the state and nationally as well as representing my own areas of responsibility in other forums.

As a nationally known figure in STEM education, I have led efforts to create new curricula, nationalprograms, and transformational learning experiences in both formal and informal settings for children,youth, and the general public. My "distinguished contributions" to state and national STEMeducationwere recognized by my election in 2009 as a Fellow of the American Association for theAdvancement of Science - the largest scientific association in the world. Building on this strong base ofexperience, I would lead DCPSto new heights of excellence and programming in STEM teaching andlearning.

I have ample additional experiences relevant to the DCPSsuperintendency from my work at the NY StateEducation Department, serving as a Vice President of Education at the Ewing Marion KauffmanFoundation, and work in academia - as attested by the lengthy CV accompanying this letter. I endorsethe basic outlines for DCPSadvanced by the JAX PEF(I worked with their sibling organizations in severalcommunities) and the Community Foundation of JAX (I worked extensively with the RI Foundation andthe Greater Kansas City Community Foundation) and look forward to a long, productive relationshipwith these and other local organizations. It is time to rebuild morale, recenter goals, create broad-basedcommunity engagement, and position DCPSas a national beacon for imagination, creativity, innovation,and entrepreneurship in teaching and learning. My extensive and relevant state, national, andinternational connections can be usefully leveraged on behalf of DCPS. If the Board and community areopen to advanced innovation, many of my colleagues and friends from around the nation would rally toour side and strongly consider DCPSas an innovation site for various worthwhile initiatives .

The School Board has identified the following qualities for the superintendent of schools.

Please respond to each of the qualities stressing your experience, strengths, and abilities ineach area,limiting your responses to between 200 and 300 words for each item.

1. A leader who solicits, respects and values the input of stakeholders at all levels of theorganization and who has demonstrated leadership in utilizing that input to create andsustain a culture of shared decision-making.

I have a long track record of soliciting views of various stakeholders via informaldialogue, formal focus groups, surveys, and issuing of white papers that invited writtenresponses. In constructing for the first time a comprehensive public accountabilityreporting system for the state of RI, I utilized focus groups of parents, students,administrators, teachers, and community organizations to determine what would beassessed, how it would be measured, and how it would be reported. Each year anextensive verification process was used to ensure that schools and districts hadopportunity to correct errors of fact so that we had a high quality product. Extensivesurvey data from parents, students, teachers, and administrators provided qualitativedata about school climate issues on a biannual basis. Privacy and anonymity wereappropriately maintained. Collaborative, informal negotiation was also used to create anew Department of Education intemal performance appraisal system using staff, unionreps, and supervisors. I was a key member of the team that created this system andpiloted it within my own unit.

As a statewide Project Coordinator at the NY State Education Department, I extensivelyemployed focus groups, surveys, and accepted written comments to improve curriculummaterials to be used in middle school classrooms statewide. A similar approach wasused when I coordinated a project to create performance-based science assessmentitems for future Regents' Examinations in grades 4 &8, Regents Biology, and RegentsEarth Science. .

When a VP at the Kauffman Foundation, we funded a large-scale effort to collect surveydata and focus group data from parents and community leaders about science,technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. It replicated a nationalstudy to see how metropolitan Kansas City area was alike or different from nationalnorms. It provided factual information for local conversations inside and outside ofschools about improving STEM teaching, learning, and career applications ofknowledge and skills.

2. A leader who supports and empowers principals, teachers and staff to improveorganizational and student performance outcomes.

Working in close collaboration with the Commissioner and Department staff, I co-ledefforts to stimulate data-informed conversations about schools' and school districts'performance across the state of RI. This included extensive embargoed press briefings

Duval County Public Schools, Jacksonville, FL Closing date July 23, 2012

before the annual release of InformationWorks! with print, radio, and TV media reportersand meetings with superintendents, principals, school boards, and local constituencies.

A formal set of tools and methods were collaboratively developed by Department staffand school personnel to advance comprehensive, in-depth discussion about how toimprove local schools and school districts (collectively known as SALT). Since I wasdirectly responsible for RI's nine area Career and Technical Centers as well as highschool reform, I personally led work with these institutions regarding SALT. Icollaborated with the University of RI to evaluate the CTCs along with career andtechnical programs in comprehensive high schools as part of a required annualevaluation of Perkins-funded programs. I also oversaw grievance procedures.

As a senior leader in foundation, university, nonprofit, and corporate sectors, I haveworked with staff/to develop better insights into our successes and failures. Weidentified useful approaches to improve performance, formulated outcomes in a mannerthat enabled us to know when we were meeting them, and created formal and informalprocesses to regularly monitor progress. I have consistently advanced individual andorganizational learning through the effective use of performance-based appraisalsystems and measurable outcomes - while recognizing that not everything that countscan be counted and not everything that can be counted counts (as sociologist WilliamBruce Cameron said).

Schools will never test their way to excellence, they can only teach and learn their waythere. Teachers are central to genuine school improvement and student learning.

3. A proactive visionary, able to consider, plan and implement systemic change thatincrease the district's ability to recognize and respond to current and future challengesas they arise.

Virtually all who know me would describe me as a proactive visionary. I haveconsistently imagined how things could be different, articulated that belief to others in away that raised aspirations, supported the realization of strategies and approaches thatcould potentially bring life to our ideas, and insisted on rigorous measurement atappropriate points to understand the impact of what we had created and its effects. Ihave been in the forefront of the development of new curriculum standards, newcurriculum materials, pioneering new instructional approaches, developing sophisticatedassessment systems, reengineering IT systems to be more functional, intuitive, androbust, and improving physical work environments. I successfully led efforts to raisecompetitive funds to support innovation, wrote about those innovations, and spokeabout them in regional, national, and international forums. I have worked well and oftenwith union leaders to advance educational reforms in a variety of locales.

I have critiqued in the media and in person much of what we do in formal educationalsettings, especially when it does not serve the interests of students but merelyrepresents the inclinations, interests, or prejudices of adults. I have built large-scalecoalitions across education, business, science and engineering, government, university,and foundation sectors to better serve the needs of schools and school districts. We

Duval County Public Schools, Jacksonville, FL Closing date July 23, 2012

either let the future happen or we take charge of our future and work hard andcontinuously to shape it in fruitful ways.

4. Someone with strong organizational and leadership skills, able to collaboratively alignand focus internal and external stakeholders' efforts to accelerate progress on achievingthe district's goals for student and organizational performance.

Worthwhile school change requires appropriate goals, clear objectives, relevantmeasures that provide valid and reliable information, and sufficient buy-in so changecan be widespread enough to matter. Unfortunately far too many efforts are plagued byinappropriate goals, unclear objectives, poorly designed or implemented measures, andinformation of extremely limited validity and/or reliability. These factors frequently leadto insufficient buy-in of veteran staff who have "seen it all before." I have devotedconsiderable time to acquiring deep expertise about these matters, conversing regularlywith expert colleagues in these arenas, and reading widely in relevant researchliterature to maintain currency.

I worked in concert with an international group of colleagues to establish the globalCampbell Collaboration to improve the quality of synthesized information about theeffects of interventions in education, crime and justice, and social welfare. Mostinterventions have no discernible effects, some have modest effects, a few haveimportant effects, and some are actually harmful. Much time was spent in NY, RI, andthe Kansas City metropolitan area working with school districts, schools, and communitypartners to find common ground, agree on principled actions, and hold ourselvesaccountable for reasonable but challenging outcomes. .

Too much of contemporary formal education focuses on external goals that have limitedmeaning for practitioners in schools. I have consistently worked to move indicatorsystems closer to the classroom and embedding them in actual practice rather thanexternal exercises that happen intermittently with little direct linkage to teaching andlearning within the school curriculum. While in NY, I worked with IBM and District 2 inNYC to align their curriculum and build embedded assessment systems that linkeddirectly to articulated, well-aligned student learning standards - hard work indeed!

5. A person of integrity who is trustworthy and whose relationships, with the board andacrossthe district, are predicated on honest and open communications.

I am widely known as a "straight-shooter" who is principled in my dealings with othersand forms bonds of trust with individuals who represent both themselves and others.This approach builds effective, long-term relationships and can help power the kinds ofcomplex, sustained changes that are needed in preK-12 and higher education. I do notintentionally manipulate results but always work to ensure that we can obtain the best,most high quality information pertinent to the topic at hand. This may mean explaining toothers why the existing data cannot be relied upon or characterizing quite specificallythe limitations of the information. I hold confidences when needed but also highly valuepublic processes where deliberations are open and readily available to people outsideof the room where the meeting is held. I strongly dislike putting "spin" on bad news butinstead attempt to use it as an opportunity to make a point, renew our commitment,revisit our assumptions, improve our methods, or reflect deeply on our profession.

Duval County Public Schools, Jacksonville, FL Closing date July 23, 2012

Over the years I have held "difficult" conversations with staff whose performance wassub-par, funders or leaders whose ideas were off-target, politicians who wanted me tofavor their particular approach or candidate, and occasionally supervisors who wanted"good news" rather than the truth. I have the resolve and fortitude to handle these kindsof situations with humor, good will, an abiding interest in the individual, and a strongbelief in the capacity of human beings to adapt and grow. I am passionate about thechildren and youth in our nation and their unbelievable potential. I challenge adults on aregular basis about what is best "for the kids." We can do better. We must do better.This is a moral, social, and economic imperative.

and global climate change. The project partners were Project 2061 and the

Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Religion at the American Association for the

5

Advancement of Science and the National School Boards Association. The

training materials were rolled at NSBA national conferences and state affiliates. A

website was also created to keep school board members up to date on these

matters.

City metropolitan area via competitive, multi-year grant awards totaling over $10

million; organized collaborative learning exchanges among participating districts.

Commissioned critical evaluation of over 200 3-D immersive platforms as to their

suitability for serious learning purposes; fostered new collaboration among three

different immersive worlds which led to cross-platform compatibility enabling

objects to be “moved among worlds” (one means to lower up-front development

costs for serious learning purposes).

Expanded by over 500% Project Lead the Way pre-engineering program, US First

Robotics, and other engaging STEM programs from small number of school sites

to cover entire Kansas City metropolitan area with a wide array of high-quality

learning options for STEM subjects among public, private, and parochial schools

Principal Investigators and their teams who received grants of million dollars or more at

Cambridge ,Oxford, Stanford, Harvard, MIT, U Penn, UC – Santa Barbara, ATLAS

Economic Research Foundation, etc., to structure suitable benchmarks for performance

6

and fine-tune their approaches in light of ongoing data collection and analysis. I also

organized a few funded proposals, including an influential study on scientists‘ views of

religion conducted by Rice University which has been widely cited. My work at

Templeton brought me into regular contact with Nobel Prize winners, members of

national academies of science, engineering and medicine in many nations, and world-

class theologians and experts in religious studies across major world religions. I still
