Jim has been my research assistant for the past two years of the parent knowledge research. As a former classroom teacher, a school administrator, and as a parent, Jim brings a breadth of rich personal experiences to the work. As well, his doctoral studies in educational administration have focused on leadership. His readings and research in this field bring to the parent knowledge work diverse yet complementary ways of considering such elements as relationships, collaboration, and power. Jim has been a great person to think and talk out loud with throughout the analysis of research field text.
Jim successfully defended his doctoral dissertation in the fall of 2007 and he is currently working in the private sector.
