CLOSING GENERAL SESSION Fri. 10am

Dr. Sharon Desmoulin- Kherat

Adam Dean Superintendent, Triopia CUSD #27

Dr. Jenna Woodland Superintendent, Evergreen Park ESD #124

Superintendent, Peoria SD #150

REAL People, REAL Talk: Lessons from the Field Illinois is blessed with so many amazing and talented superintendents that we wanted to provide an opportunity in the Closing General Session to feature our own members. Join us Friday morning to hear from Dr. Jenna Woodland, Adam Dean and Dr. Sharon Desmoulin-Kherat. Dr. Jenna Woodland is in her second year as superintendent of Evergreen Park ESD #124. Her first year of the superintendency was filled with challenges, but by focusing on her purpose, and persisting through the problems she faced, she emerged on the other side better, stronger and more able to continue leading her district with passion. Adam Dean is the superintendent of Triopia CUSD #27. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear about how a once in a lifetime trip to Augusta National, home of the world famous Master’s Golf Tournament, led to an inspiring revelation about finding your true purpose in the superintendency. Dr. Sharon Desmoulin-Kherat believes that superintendents are leaders of education—not managers of systems. Learn how Peoria SD #150 is reimaging public education, from a Wraparound Center (one-stop shop services), to job training programs for students, to a Grow Your Own Teaching Initiative, Districtwide Modified School Calendar to attaining a high school diploma and an Associate Degree simultaneously. Her presentation will focus on how educators can think outside the box.
