I love the chance to present and share. I think it is crucial that superintendents are teachers first. I took great pride in teaching a high school class while I was a high school principal and in my role as Superintendent have had the chance to continue finding ways to teach. In West Vancouver and beyond, through various other organizations which which I have been affiliated, I have had the change to present on different aspects of the profession. Included here are some samples of presentations that posted to Slideshare and built in Wikispaces (dating myself here). I work to design presentations that are interactive and engaging and use technology for its power and potential. Under the videos heading are various presentations including Ignite Talks, Ted Talks and Webinar Presentations.
