Lee Jenkins
Ph.D.
AZ, USSome ideas change everything. This is what happened to career educator and then California school superintendent Lee Jenkins, when he listened to Dr. W. Edwards Deming for four days in 1992. Everything Dr. Jenkins wanted to accomplish in education was now possible with Dr. Deming's insights.
Since those four days Lee Jenkins has spoken to hundreds of audiences in the United States, Canada and beyond. His message of hope is always the same: continuous improvement provides the wheels for servant leadership. We remove the root causes of education's frustration and replace them with successful, although unusual, processes. For example we replace the failed cramming process with systems that make cramming impossible. The concepts he teaches truly do "change everything."
His most recent book is "How to Create a Perfect School" with foreword by Jack Canfield and endorsement by John Hattie. A perfect school is one where the love of school learning in kindergarten is maintained for 12 more years. Lee explains how this is being accomplished.
He lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with his wife Sandy. They share two sons and seven grandchildren.

How to Create a Perfect School
A career changing 60-90 minute keynote. Educators and the general public do not know how to dramatically improve schools for everyone. The foundation is what must be replaced. The cram/forget cycle must be replaced with remember for the long-term. The data for harm must be replaced with data for joy. Teachers pressuring students to learn more must be replaced with students pressuring the teachers to teach more. The anguish over exams must be replaced with "bring it on; we'll show you what...
