Profile Information:

Tell our School Leadership 2.0 community a little bit about yourself. Feel free to post your email address and website. Also feel free to list your areas of interest. This will help other members dialogue with you.: I was a principal, Director of Pupil Personnel Services, Director of Humanities, and Assistant Superintendent for Instruction before I left the district to become an educational consultant and Professor of Educational Leadership, Adminstration, and Technology for Dowling COllege where I have also become that school's NCATE Coordinator.

My professional passions are many, chiefly centered around helping potential leaders practice and master the skills and dispositions of 21st century leaders. This often takes the form of teaching strategic planning skills, high involvement and shared planning behaviors.Curriculum planning, instructional design and active learning , interactive activities round that out.

Bottom line, all of us who care about how the children of our own children will fare in a global society know that extraordinary leadership challenges await our most gifted administrators and none of us is as smart as all of us.
