Spring / Summer Session 2012

It was a busy spring/summer session 2012...in addition to completing the required courses, I had my dissertation proposal defense on June 21, 2012.  Major revisions are in the works, and I have been meeting regularly with Dr. Monson and my advisor, Dr. Wan.  Both have offered constructive criticism which has allowed me to move forward in the process.  Dr. Hochman's Culture, Politics, and Educational Change Class has been exciting and most rewarding.  Onward and upward!

Community Forum - Pelham - January 21, 2012 & February 2012

The Community Forum in Pelham on January 21, 2012 was truly an eye opener!  Field notes were taken and promptly handed to the facilitator as per Dr. Monson, who really presented the community with two essential questions to be addressed.  Despite the snow storm, it was outstanding!  I should be submitting my revised draft of Chapters 1 & 2 to Dr.'s  Wan & Monson this week.  The Community Relations & Education course sounds exciting! 

A Busy Semester Indeed!

Emerging Financial & Legal Issues in Education was a well-designed course by Dr. Marien who peaked our interest with emerging issues affecting education - tax cap, tax levy, collective bargaining, just to name a few.  Lit-Review has been submitted to Dr. Monson & Chapter One to Dr. Wan.  The month of January will be spent completing edits & revisions and "tweaking" my e-portfolio.  Until then.
