In schools we trust? Exploring school and community relationships in Mindanao, Philippines.
August-December 2015
University of Idaho
This teaching and research grant explored how school leaders go about their work building and sustaining trust within their school and community. This research explored the complexities school leaders face when working in areas with ethno-religious difference, ultimately calling for a rethinking of the skills and attitudes needed to lead schools in areas that lack trust between groups of people. For the teaching portion of the grant, I taught two graduate courses, Educational Leadership and Comparative Education Systems at Capitol University. I also provided workshops for faculty, students, and educational practitioners on action research and qualitative research.
