Keynote Speaker
Dr. Anthony Muhammad is one of the most sought after educational consultants in North America. As a practitioner of nearly twenty years, Dr. Muhammad has served as a middle school teacher, assistant principal, middle school principal, and high school principal. Dr. Muhammad and the staff at Levey Middle School used the Professional Learning Communities at Work (PLC) model of school improvement. Dr. Muhammad is the author of the book Transforming School Culture: How to End Staff Division and a contributing author to the book The Collaborative Administrator: Working Together as a Professional Learning Community. In his book, Transforming School Culture: How to End Staff Division, Dr. Muhammad describes the underlying tensions that impact culture among four different groups of educators in a school. Much of the book is devoted to introducing readers to these groups: The Believers are those who are committed to the learning of each student and who operate under the assumption that their efforts can make an enormous difference in that learning. The Fundamentalists are preservers of the status quo. The Tweeners are members of a staff who are typically new to a school and are attempting to learn its prevailing culture. The Survivors are those who have been so overwhelmed by the stress and demands of the profession that their primary goal becomes making it through the day, the week, and the year.
