Activities:

I am a Professor of Educational Administration and Policy and Coordinator of the Administrative Leadership and Policy Studies (ALPS) PhD Lab in the Educational Leadership and Innovation PhD program at the University of Colorado at Denver. My research interests include (in no particular order) problem-based learning and the preparation of adult learners for professional roles in education; educational policy, governance, and decision processes; leadership theories and the measurement of leadership; and theories and uses of power.

Programs in ALPS include a licensing program for school administrators and principals and an associated MA or EdS degree. The ALPS Lab has several research strands, including elementary and secondary administration, policy, and higher educational administration.
