Bio
Shepherd Siegel is writing a book about play, and how it, and the creative impulse, could transform our society. He was a professional rock and jazz musician who switched it out for his career as an educator (in music, career & technical and special education). He was the Director of School Engagement for Project Lead The Way in Washington State 2012-2015. From 1996-2012 he led the School to Career and Career + Technical Education (CTE) initiative for Seattle Public Schools, which supports over 100 staff and teachers. He has over thirty publications in the special education and CTE fields. Career Ladders, his internship program for high school students with and without disabilities, is represented by over twenty school districts, a corresponding book, and an award from the US Department of Labor. He is the 2004 Outstanding Career and Technical Educator for the state of Washington, and a national finalist for the ACTE 2005 Outstanding Career + Technical Educator. The KAPPAN published his article about a meaningful high school diploma, a series of ideas he continues to share.
