PLATO Learning, Inc. (NASDAQ:TUTR), a leading provider
of K-adult computer-based and e-learning solutions, announced that
Robert Peterkin, director of the Urban Superintendents Program and
Francis Keppel Professor on Educational Policy and Administration at
the Harvard Graduate School of Education has been elected to its Board
of Directors.
Dr. Peterkin has focused entirely on education during his
distinguished 35-year career, and he has earned a reputation as one of
our nation's leading advocates for urban education reform. Dr.
Peterkin has been a teacher, administrator, and superintendent of
Cambridge (Mass.) and Milwaukee (Wis.) Public Schools.
Since 1991, Dr. Peterkin has led the Urban Superintendents Program
at Harvard with the mission to help future superintendents in urban
schools elevate their political, managerial, and educational
leadership skills and to drive qualitative change for teachers and
learners. In 2003, Dr. Peterkin helped form and launch the Public
Education Leadership Project, a collaborative initiative by the
faculty of Harvard's Business and Education Schools, to improve the
administrative management and educational outcomes of urban school
systems. Dr. Peterkin has written and lectured on equitable school
choice, school governance, school desegregation, women and people of
color in leadership, the achievement gap, and the impact of school
reform on the achievement of African-American children.
"Dr. Peterkin brings vast education experience, with specific
emphasis on urban education, to the Board," said Dave Smith, PLATO
Learning's Executive Chairman. "He will be a valued contributor to our
Board of Directors and a committed steward of our shareholders'
interests." Mike Morache, CEO of PLATO Learning said, "our board of
directors has four outstanding leaders of education in America - Dr.
M. Lee Pelton, President of Willamette University; Dr. Robert
Peterkin, Harvard Graduate School of Education; Dr. Ted Sanders,
former President of Southern Illinois University and former Chief
State School Officer for Ohio and Illinois; Dr. Warrens Simmons,
Executive Director of the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at
Brown University. I am grateful for their insight and guidance in
helping the company shape its strategy to provide the truly innovative
instructional technology for teachers and students in K12 and higher
education."
