Hello to all! I am a new subscriber to the dialogue and I look forward to
listening, learning, and sharing within the dialogue group. My name is
Jane Schumacher. I currently serve as Deputy Superintendent of a large
suburban school district that is located approximately 35 miles northwest
of Chicago. Beginning July 1, I will be transitioning to a new position
as a Senior Program Associate with |I|D|E|A| (Institute for Development of
Educational Activities). |I|D|E|A| is a non-profit foundation dedicated
to providing educators, on a national and international basis, with
strategies and programs for continuous improvement. These programs are
designed to foster and encourage the formation of learning organizations.
I am also working on my dissertation. It is a qualitative case study
focusing on an early childhood teacher and her perceptions of forming a
learning community within her classroom. I hope to extrapolate my
research findings to educational leadership.
I look foward to building relationships with fellow dialogue members!
Jane
