Husband, father, educator...the development of a happy family, the improvement of the lives of others, and leaving the world a better place have been my life focus. [email protected]
I have served as a superintendent, an assistant superintendent for learning services, a principal, an associate principal for instruction, and an assistant principal in diverse communities throughout the Midwest. I have also served as a as a classroom teacher, instructional leader, and adjunct professor at the University of Notre Dame.
I possess a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and Teaching from Benedictine University coupled with a Master’s Degree in School Administration and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from Loyola University. I have had significant training in the area of leadership development and instructional improvement including participation as a trainee, trainer, and mentor at the Indiana Principal’s Leadership Academy and the Harvard Principal’s Center.
I have also served as a Regional Representative and Educational Consultant for Solution Tree, A+ Educators, and my own company, School Improvement Consulting. While in those roles, I have been fortunate enough to stay on the cutting edge of educational reform by working directly with Dr. Rick DuFour, Dr. Robert Marzano, and Dr. Doug Reeves to transform educational programs across the country.

Did you know... Effective MTSS implementation relies on continuous data collection and analysis to inform decision-making and intervention adjustments. AND... Schools that implement MTSS with fidelity often see improved academic and behavioral outcomes for all students. https://lnkd.in/gm3VzSkP

Anthony R. Reibel - Beyond PLC Lite: Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning in a Professional Learning Community at Work. This is episode 699 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Anthony R. Reibel, EdD, is the director of research and evaluation at Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois. In 2006, he became a Spanish teacher at Stevenson, where he served as a curricular team leader, core team leader, coach, and club sponsor. In 2010, Anthony received recognition from the state of Illinois, and in 2011, Illinois Computing Educators named him Technology Educator of the Year. He currently sponsors two clubs: (1) KIVA, which gives microloans to entrepreneurs living in areas lacking financial institutions, and (2) FIRE, which promotes equality and respect among Stevenson students and staff through conversation and advocacy in school and throughout the community. Anthony is the author and coauthor of seven books on education. Some titles include Embracing Relational Teaching: How Strong Relationships Promote Student Self-Regulation and Efficacy; Small Changes, Big Impact: Ten Strategies to Promote Student Efficacy and Lifelong Learning; Proficiency-Based Assessment: Process, Not Product; and Pathways to Proficiency: Implementing Evidence-Based Grading. Each of these explores the relationship among student efficacy, pedagogy, and learning. Anthony is also the publisher and chief editor of The Assessor(www.assessormag.com) a publication that features short articles written by teachers and administrators to support conversation about formative assessment. Anthony completed his doctorate, which studied the effects of cognitive bias on teachers’ evaluation of student performance, at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Our focus will be the book Dr. Reibel wrote with Troy Gobble, Mark Onuscheck and Eric Twadell - Beyond PLC Lite: Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning in a Professional Learning Community at Work. Awesome conversation! So much to learn. Before you go... You could help support this podcast by Buying Me A Coffee. Not really buying me something to drink but clicking on the link on my home page at https://stevenmiletto.com for Buy Me a Coffee or by going to this link Buy Me a Coffee. This would allow you to donate to help the show address the costs associated with producing the podcast from upgrading gear to the fees associated with producing the show. That would be cool. Thanks for thinking about it. Hey, I've got another favor...could you share the podcast with one of your friends, colleagues, and family members? Hmmm? What do you think? Thank you! You are AWESOME!
