Our Guest(s) This Week

Timothy D. Nolan

Timothy D. Nolan, Cincinnati State Technical & Community College Professor Emeritus, is currently in his 51st year in education and serves as a consultant in career technical education for Cincinnati Public Schools and as an instructional coach for High Schools That Work/Making Middle Grades Work (HSTW/MMGW) of Southwest Ohio. After teaching for 36 years in secondary and postsecondary institutions, he retired from both the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati State, where he worked on the team that founded Cincinnati State Technical & Community College. He has served as Director of Professional Development for the National Association of Tech Prep Leadership and coordinated two major national conventions for the National Career Pathways Network in Cincinnati in 2002 and 2008. Additionally, he has delivered high-powered, professional development workshops and courses in 39 states and Canada. Mr. Nolan earned the 1990 State of Ohio College Teacher of the Year Award as well as numerous awards for research, publications, and service. He was named the State of Ohio’s recipient of the 2005 Perkins Humanitarian Award for a lifetime of service to career technical education and its students. He and his wife, Peg, are dedicated child advocates who, as foster parents for 22 years, have cared for 60 children awaiting adoption through Catholic Social Services and both Clermont and Hamilton County Children Services.

This Week's Topic

Join our presenter as he discusses the community of learners approach he and an urban high school team of concerned educators and mental health professionals followed as they set out on a journey to address the toxic stress levels of students in their school. The presenter will share the resources and research the team compiled, verified, and shared and how it integrated into their process.

He will also discuss the resulting professional development workshop that launched the school’s systemic process of changing school culture by addressing Adverse Childhood Effects (ACEs), Resilience, and Restorative Practices for students and Compassion Fatigue or Self-Care for teachers. The systemic change has led the school to begin developing their trauma-sensitive school culture.

The webcast will guide participants to:

• reflect upon the three key questions about ethical leadership as it impacts students and peers,
• examine the effects of trauma on children, and
• identify possible resources to support participants’ work with children of trauma.

At the conclusion of the webcast, participants will have knowledge and resources that will allow them to build a community of learners’ network to support culture change within their school and community.
