May, Saturday, Gala Keynote Speech
Leadership
- How to think like a leader, regardless of position within the
organization
Anne Barab, rumored to be the lost love child of Mark Twain and Lucille Ball for her wisdom and humor, speaks to educators and consults with school districts that want to balance attitude, reality and behavior to craft schools of excellence. Her core message helps educators know how to:
- Lead teachers through change;
- Think like a leader in a NCLB world;
- Thrive in the win/lose challenge of AYP;
- Improve student achievement.
Anne helps education leaders create learning communities where:
- Kids learn more,
- Teachers teach better,
- Principals empower, and
- Everyone grows.
Anne’s common sense strategies and dynamic speaking style anchor learning in the minds of listeners. Her entertaining keynotes and seminars are packed with humor and interactive exercises, which help educators focus on improving student achievement. She has energized and enlightened teachers, principals, administrators, superintendents and board members nationally and in 20 states.
Anne began her career in the telecommunications industry, then moved into insurance, banking and financial services. She shattered the glass ceiling when she became the first female Chief Operating Officer of a $1.4 billion mortgage bank.
Anne served three terms as an elected board member of a large, very diverse school district in Dallas, Texas. Her district was named one of the Top 100 school districts in the nation in a study conducted by The Wall Street Journal. She earned the Master Trustee designation from the Texas Association of School Boards Leadership program and has completed over 450 hours of board training. She also served on the executive board of the North Texas Area Association of School Boards. Her board was honored twice as one of the top five school boards in the state. Anne’s service on this high-performing board makes her a compelling presenter for education leaders.
She’s written two books, Humor Us and The Leadership Path, plus over 40 articles about education and family living. She is accredited by the Texas Education Agency and presents frequently for the National Staff Development Council.
However, her greatest claim to fame is being married for thirty-five lo-o-ong years to the same engineer, having three children who are not currently in jail, and being voted Best Smelling Mom by her son’s first grade.
