About the Author
Dr. Many′s long and distinguished career includes 20 years of experience as a superintendent. He has also served as a classroom teacher, learning center director, curriculum supervisor, principal, and assistant superintendent.
As former superintendent of Kildeer Countryside Community Consolidated School District 96 in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, Dr. Many used the tenets of the PLC at Work™ process to ensure high levels of learning for all students. He played a key role in preparing elementary and middle grade students for entering Adlai E. Stevenson High School, a nationally recognized PLC. Under Dr. Many′s leadership, student achievement in District 96 improved every year for 12 consecutive years. More than 95 percent of all students now meet or exceed state standards. The district has been especially effective in helping students with special needs improve their academic performance. It has become recognized as one of the premier elementary school districts in the nation. A dedicated PLC practitioner, he is a compelling and sought-after speaker.
Dr. Many has written numerous articles and has coauthored books.
Susan Sparks Many provides professional development for building and sustaining professional learning communities and strengthening skills for effective teaming. Her extensive experience as an education leader includes service as a teacher, staff developer, and executive director. She worked in four different Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) in Colorado and received state recognition for her work in standards-based education. Susan retired as executive director of the Front Range BOCES for Teacher Leadership, where she served 19 metro area school districts and the School of Education and Human Development at the University of Colorado Denver.
Her workshops and presentations focus on impacting results through interpersonal effectiveness, facilitating difficult conversations, and creating collaborative teams. Known as a results-based facilitator, Susan assists teams with developing skills to collaborate and increase student achievement.
Susan′s passion for empowering educators is evident in every aspect of her work. Her areas of expertise include consensus building, decision making, contract negotiations, conflict resolution, strategic planning, and professional learning communities.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
