John+Churchley



John has taught secondary school music, worked as a school district arts consultant, conducted a university choir, and was the founding Principal of Beattie School of the Arts in Kamloops, British Columbia. He is currently the District Principal of Human Resources for the Kamloops/Thompson School District. His interest in Organizational Aesthetics developed naturally from his roles as musician, arts adminstrator, and administrator. John is also completing an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership at the University of Nottingham. Specific research interests include the nature of the aesthetic experience, strategic aesthetics as a means to school improvement, and performing arts leaders as archetypal leaders (especially the conductor). He is also an avid ukelele player, and enjoys playing covers of Eagles tunes.
