Richard Gerver, author of Creating Tomorrow’s Schools Today (Dec. 2009) is a former school principal and advisor to the UK Government. In 2001 when Gerver was only 32, he was appointed the new principal of The Grange School, one of the worst performing schools in all of Great Britain. Suffering from low morale, an acute aversion to risk, lack of creativity, poor channels of communication and low levels of engagement, The Grange School, under Gerver’s leadership, underwent dramatic change. In less than two years, the school was a model of transformation and innovation. By 2003, Gerver was working with Tony Blair’s government as an advisor on education policy and his work was celebrated at the UNESCO World Arts Education Conference. He’s won a National Teaching Award among many honors and is profiled in Sir Ken Robinson’s book The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything. With his trademark humor and insight, Gerver shares his experience on cultural and organizational transformation, human development and management with groups around the world. An educator who transformed one of the worst schools in Great Britain into a top performer, Richard Gerver shares his unique approach to transformation, leadership, creativity and innovation.
