About

I am a former alternative school principal and teacher, currently I am working on a PhD in Education Leadership. Over the past several years I have from time to time conducted training sessions or presented research presentations. I developed this blog primarily to allow people who attended these presentations the opportunity to continue the discussions or have access to the presentation. Of course, this also allows me to invite comment from anyone who might be interested. Please feel free to make respectful comments or ask questions-I will respond either in the comment section or a new post. I look forward to your responses!

Some disclosure information:

All of the pdf files that are linked in posts are of original powerpoint presentations. Some are several years old and may have dated content. Also there are references to several organizations that are no longer in operation. Cumberland Hall of Chattanooga was a residential treatment facility that closed in January of 2010. There also are references to former parent companies of Cumberland Hall of Chattanooga, Alternative Behavioral Services and Psychiatric Solutions Inc.,  both of which no longer are in operation.
