FROM YOUR AASCD EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Conference Participants:
Welcome to Hot Springs and the 2010 Annual Arkansas ASCD Conference! This year’s confer-ence focuses on the theme of Moving from Me to We while focusing on 21st Century Learning. The guests we have invited to join us for our conference come, not to make a speech, but to guide us in learning experiences that capture the essence of a technologically enriched and en-gaging environment. We welcome Ian Jukes, Ted McCain, Charles DeBerry and all Arkansas educators who are presenting. Each presenter brings an area of expertise to prepare us to be forward thinkers as we work with school teams in moving students to high performance.
Arkansas ASCD continues to push the mark with the integration of technology into the profes-sional development experience. As we attempt to Twitter this conference and make large group session materials available electronically during the sessions, we may face challenges of connec-tivity and learner styles. I trust you will be open to join us in the challenge as we take the risk of doing something differently.
We appreciate the partnerships that make this conference possible. A special Thank You to the members of the Arkansas Department of Education, Arkansas Department of Workforce Devel-
opment and ATU’s Center for Leadership and Learning. Congratulations to the Arkansas ASCD Board of Directors and Con-ference Committee who exhibit visionary leadership in the planning of this year’s conference. I am confident that this confer-ence will provide you with opportunities for new learnings and networking that will be a catalyst to your planning.
Thank you for joining us! Arkansas ASCD appreciates your continued support and efforts in helping Arkansas students reach their full potential.
Conference Greetings
FROM YOUR AASCD PRESIDENT
Welcome to the 2010 Arkansas Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development (AASCD) Conference. We are excited you have chosen to attend our annual event. Many of the finest educators in Arkansas have spent tireless hours planning and preparing the best possible learning opportunities for you.

Conference participants will receive a copy of Ian Juke’s new book: Understanding the Digital Generation: Teaching and Learning in the New Digital Landscape
Ian Jukes has been a teacher, an
administrator, writer, consultant, university instructor and keynote speaker. Ian Jukes is the Director of an international consulting group that provides leadership and program development in the areas of assessment and evaluation, strategic alignment, curriculum design and publication, professional development, planning, change management, hardware and software acquisition, information services, customized research, media services, and on-line training as well as conference keynotes and workshop presentations. Over the course of the past 10 years, Ian Jukes has worked with clients in more than 40 countries and made more than 8,000 presentations typically speaking to between 300,000 and 350,000 people a year. Ian Jukes has written twelve books, 9 educational series and had more than 100 articles published in various journals. Ian Jukes is also the publisher of an on-line electronic newsletter, the Committed Sardine Blog, which is electronically distributed to almost 90,000 people in 60 plus countries. Ian Jukes was the creator and co-developer of TechWorks, the internationally successful K-8 technology framework; and was the catalyst of the NetSavvy and InfoSavvy information literacy series; he has been a Contributing Editor for several journals and magazines. His most recent book was Teaching the Digital Generation, co-authored with Ted McCain and Frank Kelly. Ian Jukes is currently working on 3 books - a 2nd edition of Windows on the Future, a book on Understanding Digital Kids and a series on Digital Fluency for 21st Century Learners. Ian Jukes has also been working for several years with architectural firms to help facilitate planning new learning environments by taking the groups through a visioning process to help them align the thinking of the community (school board, administration, parents, students, community) about what new facilities should look like and how its design should align with the learning and instructional intentions of the school/district. Ian Jukes also works with organizations and communities that have lost their market or economic base and wish to explore possibilities for preferred economic futures. But Ian Jukes is an educator first and foremost. His focus has consistently been on the compelling need to restructure our educational institutions so that they become relevant to the current and future needs of children. His rambunctious, irreverent and highly charged presentations and articles emphasize many of the practical issues related to ensuring that change is meaningful. As a registered educational evangelist, his self-avowed mission in life is to ensure that children are properly prepared for the future rather than society's past. As a result, his material tends to focus on many of the pragmatic issues that provide the essential context for educational restructuring.
Ted McCain First and foremost, Ted is an
educator. He has taught high school students at Maple Ridge Secondary School for twenty-five years. Although he has had several opportunities to take other jobs both inside education and in the private sector, he has felt his primary calling is to help prepare teenagers for success as they move into adult life.
Ted has been an innovator and pioneer in technology education. He has designed courses for his school district and the province of B.C. in computer science, data processing, desktop publishing, computer networking, website design, digital animation, digital film effects, and sound engineering. He feels the only way to keep instruction relevant and interesting for students is to be continually changing and updating what he teaches.
In 1997, Ted received the Prime Minister's Award For Teaching Excellence. Ted was awarded this prestigious Canadian national award for his work in developing a real-world technology curriculum for grade 11 and 12 students that prepares them for employment in the areas of website design and computer networking directly out of high school. Ted was recognized for his work in creating his innovative "4 D" approach to solving problems, his unique use of role playing in the classroom, and his idea of progressive withdrawal as a way to foster independence in his students.
In addition to being a classroom teacher, Ted has also been a department head, an administrative assistant, and a technology consultant. He is currently the Coordinator of Instructional Technology for Maple Ridge Secondary School in Vancouver, B.C. Ted has also taught at the junior college level. He has taught computer networking, graphic design, and desktop publishing for Okanagan College/University.
Ted is also an author. He has written or co-written seven books on the future, effective teaching, educational technology, and graphic design. He is currently working on three new book projects.
Prior to entering the teaching profession, Ted worked for several years in the computer industry as a programmer, salesperson, and consultant. In addition to his work as a teacher, for the past twenty-five years Ted has also consulted with school districts and businesses on effective teaching for the digital generation and the implementation of instructional technology. His clients have included Apple Computer, Microsoft, Aldus, and Toyota, as well as many school districts and educational associations.
Ted has now joined the Thornburg Center For Professional Development as an associate director for Canada. In this role, Ted has expanded his work as an educational futurist. Ted focuses on the impact on students and learning from the astounding changes taking place in the world today as a consequence of technological development. He is passionate in his belief that schools must change so they can effectively prepare students for the rest of their lives.
Charles DeBerry began his
educational career as an educational consultant and a teacher in the New York City school system nearly 20 years ago. He has been the educational leader of the Asa Philip Randolph School of the Humanities (Grades PreK-6) located in the Harlem community of New York for the past 6 years. Charles attended the City University of New York where he received a Master of Science in Education. He later earned an Advanced Master of Education from the Educational Leadership- Principal’s Institute at Bank Street College in New York. Charles attributes his educational philosophy and management approach to instituting change to his Educational Leadership –Principal’s Institute experience. Charles serves on the Executive Board of the New York City Elementary Principals Association. He is currently the Council of Supervisors and Administrators chapter chair for District 3 in New York and serves on the District 3 Leadership Team. He believes that education holds the key to the future of America and that every child should be made to feel that they are the most important individual in the world. Charles enjoys playing golf, traveling, and most of all making a difference in the lives of children.
