At AERA in San Francisco I am presenting my paper through Division A: Administration/Division - Section 1: Leadership. My paper is titled:  “Power of Immigration Stories, Possibilities of Immigration Rights through Innovative School Leadership Practices,”  in which I address these research questions from a case study of collaborative work with teachers and superintendent when I was a school principal:
·      How can school leadership facilitate teachers’ engagement of transformative curriculum?
·      How can school leadership facilitate self-determination of families?


Recent:  Sacred and Secular Entwined:

I presented a talk at The Yoga Center Amherst on September 13 through photos, story-telling and poetry about  intersections of the sacred with the secular; the spiritual with the physical; and the inner dialogue of the internal camino with the outer landscape of the external camino.
See my TEDx Talk
I gave a TEDx Talk at TEDxOhioStateUniversity.
​I titled the talk: "Art Education as  Civil Right." The video is available for viewing online.
