9:15 a.m. – 10:30 p.m. Dr. John Draper, Consultant – National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) – “Crucial Conversations About America’s Public Schools” – For decades elected officials, business leaders, the general public, parents, and even school employees have been fed a steady diet of warnings about “declining schools.” Dr. John Draper steps back from the rhetoric and looks at the reality of what is really happening across America’s schools. He identifies some of the Talk, the Truth, and the Crucial Conversations that school leaders need to lead. Dr. Draper shares his TLC Formula that reframes the conversation to be more effective with every audience. He engages the audience to face their own “Curse of Knowledge” and stop spreading the negativity that unwittingly fuels the urban myth of failing public schools. Educators will feel supported, appreciated, and encouraged to engage in the crucial conversations required to building community support for public schools.

In this presentation, Dr. Draper pushes aside the branches of evil and leads you on a journey to discover the root feeding the negativity directed at public schools. Argument increases the polarization, data deepens the divide and your own Curse of Knowledge makes communication difficult. Even our own employees are deceived by this insidious public myth and, if we can’t win them, we can’t win the nation. Dr. Draper will invite you to be part of Public Schools That Work, a national organization providing a simple, cost-free, methodical approach to exterminating this myth among 8 million K-12 public school employees – and the American public.
