Dr. Judith M. Newman

Consulting

From June 1983 to June 1993 I spent half of my time as an education consultant. As a consultant I had to generate contractual work with various constituencies -- universities, school districts, and professional organizations. I worked extensively with school districts in Hawaii, Upper State New York, New Mexico, and elsewhere. I conducted numerous workshops and inservice sessions across Canada, and the USA. My role has been to consult with administrators assisting them to develop strategies for helping schools change and to facilitate literacy and learning inservice workshops with teacher groups. This work has involved preparing inservice materials, conducting workshops with teachers and administrators, assisting participants in initiating teacher/action research projects as well as helping participants document and publish their experiences.
