AssociatesBob Poffenbarger, Senior Associate In 2000, Bob began his journey to become an expert in continuous improvement in the classroom and school district. He studied, learned and led. His school district is one of the very few in the US where teachers and administrators alike can frequently monitor learning progress and adjust instruction accordingly. He will bring examples of measuring student learning “real-time”. For example if 45% of the year has transpired, he knows exactly where at least 45% of the content is in students’ long-term memory. Lee Jenkins consulted in his district one week in the fall and one week in the spring over five years. Bob attended 100% of the sessions and has become an expert. The story continues even further. Not content to have the very best in instruction only, Bob pursued excellence in personnel practices. His qualifications to provide personnel improvement to US and Canadian systems are impressive. He met Dr. Vic Cottrell and studied dominate theme patterns of excellence for teachers, administrators, and support staff. All applicants in his district became candidates for employment based upon a hiring sequence prescribed by Ventures for Excellence. Communication to build a culture of trust, respect, cooperation and growth became his next priority. He is certified by Mary Jo McGrath to teach SUCCEED – a process that puts legally fit and ethical principles to work to develop people and to impact their performance.

Lloyd and Caroline Roettger 
the schools in Miami , Arizona where Lloyd and Caroline are working each month with their administrators and teachers. The proof of their expertise comes from (1) interviewing teachers, administrators and students, plus (2) the state assessment results. All four schools are now off the underperforming lists and one school even moved from the lowest possible category to the highest possible. This was after one year of work. Year two is even better.
