Lisa Petrides

President, Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education

Lisa Petrides, Ph.D. is president and founder of the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME) an independent, nonprofit research institute in Half Moon Bay, CA, that conducts social science research in education, develops research-based innovations, and facilitates field building to improve knowledge sharing. Petrides has led research that contributes to the ways in which those in both K-20 formal and informal education foster the creation and sharing of information, apply it to well-defined problems, and create knowledge-driven environments focused on improved learning and organizational success. She also brings extensive experience as an innovator working at the forefront of understanding how developments in open source, social networking, resource use, and social media can impact—and already have impacted—educational practice and policy. This includes the creation of OER Commons (www.oercommons.org), an open source teaching and learning network that supports and facilitates the creation, sharing, and modification of open educational resources.

Dr. Petrides is a former visiting scholar at Stanford University and professor in the Department of Organization and Leadership at Columbia University, Teachers College. She received a Ph.D. in Education from Stanford University and an MBA from Sonoma State University, and was a postdoctoral fellow in Educational Policy Research Division at Educational Testing Service. Petrides is widely published and has given many keynote addresses.

Her publications include: Open Educational Resources: Inquiring into Author Use and Reuse in International Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning, Democratize the Data on Campuses, in The Chronicle of Higher Education; The Squeeze of Accountability in Higher Education: The Challenges of Using External Mandates to Create Internal Change, in Planning for Higher Education; Strategic Planning and Information Use: The Role of Institutional Leadership in the Community College, in On The Horizon; Data Use and School Reform, in Technology Horizons in Education, Anatomy of Schools System Improvement: Performance-Driven Practices in Urban School Districts, report for NewSchools Venture Fund, Turning Knowledge Into Action: What’s Data Got To Do With It, published by the League for Innovation in the Community College; and Knowledge Management for School Leaders: An Ecological Framework for Thinking Schools, in Teachers College Record.
