Bio
Grant Faulkner
Paul is one of the most effective people I've ever worked with because of his ability to collaborate with others. He facilitates meetings in a way that brings out the best ideas in all stakeholders, and he always adds his own creativity and keen insights to a project, whether it's a complicated web development project, a communications strategy, or content development. I've worked with Paul on several projects that are quite involved, and he's always managed the time line effectively, provided prompt and clear communication, and juggled a variety of tasks gracefully under pressure. He's also an expert writer--his articles are always snappy, clear, informative, and concise. He has a great sense of what the audience wants in all of his work, and he doesn't stray from that sensibility. Naturally these traits make Paul a great manager. He's a natural coach and mentor, so anyone he supervises knows they will grow and do meaningful work.

Paul Oh possesses a valuable set of skills that is greatly appreciated at the National Writing Project (NWP). As a leader of a national network at NWP, Paul often facilitates meetings full of divergent opinions, but does it with a genuine consensus-building approach that leads everyone towards a common goal while making each member feel heard. As a former teacher who has now become a featured presenter at education conferences, Paul possesses a deep understanding and in-depth knowledge of education policy and practice, particularly as it pertains to digital literacy and technology in the classroom. And as a key figure in NWP's social media networks, Paul has become the go-to expert in how to effectively disseminate resources to a wide audience using Web 2.0 tools, and also effectively mobilize communities of teachers across the country in order to share knowledge and critical information. Beyond his excellent leadership at work and knowledge of the education world, Paul is a reliable co-worker and team-player who produces great results. He's also easy to work with, someone with whom people always look forward to collaborating.
