"Last week Andre Bauer, the lieutenant governor of South Carolina and a candidate to become the state’s next governor, compared providing government assistance to those in need – including school kids eligible for free or reduced price lunches – to feeding stray animals. He claimed that providing such services only encourage breeding and facilitate the problem.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their version of the facts. Bauer has it completely wrong. " -

My research focuses on issues of leadership and social justice in diverse contexts. I have conducted various studies including research into transformative leadership in cross-cultural communities and the role of dialogue and spirituality in creating more holistic and inclusive school communities. One educational structure I have studied in terms of its potentiaI to facilitate more equitable achievement (broadly conceptualized) for all students is commonly known as year-round schooling (more correctly identified as modified or balanced calendars). I have focused on the role of leaders in implementing change and the potential of this calendar to provide more equal and more inclusive learning environments for students who, by virtue of membership in specific social classes, ethnic groups, home language other than English, and so forth, tend to be the least successful in more traditional school settings.
My current research relates to summer learning loss in balanced calendar schools, the motivations of educators for doing social justice workin the face of contemporary political climates that tend to discourage such work, and leadership issues in diverse and/or bilingual schools. -
