2003 Assistant Principals' Conference

The annual Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) Pacific Assistant Principals’ Conference, held in Tokyo, Japan from January 27–31, 2003, addressed the initiatives that are being implemented under the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Community Strategic Plan (CSP). The theme of the conference was Leading Learning: Literacy at the Center.

The conference provided guidance for administrators on how to lead schools in using research-based practices to promote literacy in all subject areas. It also capitalized on our agency’s theme, “DoDEA Reads,” and the

President’s national education agenda to “leave no child behind.” Special guests included DoDDS Pacific Teachers of the Year and a representative from the Federal Employees Association.

Administrators heard addresses from Dr. Joseph Tafoya, DoDEA Director; Dr. Elizabeth Middlemiss, DoDEA Associate Director for Education; COL Thomas J. Gibbons, US PACOM J11. They attended small and large group sessions, provided by DoDEA and DoDDS Pacific personnel, and participated in a panel discussion with DoDDS Pacific division chiefs.

The conference gave administrators a deeper understanding of the relationship between standards-based reforms and DoDDS Pacific’s Leading Learning initiative as well as insights about the power of instructional best practices.
