Dr. Lucas J. Roberts (“Luke”) has worked in international schools across China as a teacher, Head of Primary, Head of Secondary, and Head of School. He regularly serves as a WASC accreditation visiting committee member and chair around Asia, which has greatly broadened his outlook on schools, and has enabled him to understand the cultural and systems challenges educators face in providing consistent, high-quality education with a global perspective for all students. For Luke, joy in education comes from schools and families partnering together on behalf of children to create a positive, proactive, fun, and high-quality learning community. Earning a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies helped spark Luke’s belief that learning, rather than being isolated, should help students see patterns and connections across subjects with an emphasis on life skills and character development. Luke earned a Master of Divinity, an M.Ed. in Educational Administration, and a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership. His doctoral dissertation examined the phenomenon of discrimination experienced by racially and ethnically diverse educators working in the international school industry in China. He is a researcher, author, and conference speaker on a range of topics in education.
