Judith Ann Pauley, Ph.D.
Chief Executive Officer
Process Communication, Inc.
Joseph F. Pauley
President
Process Communication, Inc.
Judy and Joe Pauley have spent many years in the classroom teaching a variety of subjects, including chemistry, physics, English, history, Chinese, and English as a second language. For the past 21 years, they have taught educators across the United States how to individualize instruction. They also teach leaders and managers how to be more effective in leading improvement in their organizations.
The National Dropout Prevention Network awarded the Pauleys its 2008 Individual Crystal Star Award for the success educators nationwide are having when applying the research-based concepts the Pauleys teach and for the results administrators are getting when they use the concepts in leading innovation in their schools and school districts.
The Pauleys present annually at about 20 national, international, and state conferences, have published many articles in various prestigious journals, and have written two books explaining how educators can use the concepts of process communication in individualizing motivation and communication and in reducing/eliminating disruptive behaviors in the classroom. When educators do this, every student learns more and teachers are more effective, happier, and healthier. Their latest book, Communication: The Key to Effective Leadership, shows leaders how to use these concepts to bring about improvement in their organizations.
