This site is intended to be a resource for my students, but also for prospective students who might have an interest in pursuing graduate work in educational leadership.  At Arkansas State University, we offer the Ms.E, Ed.S & Ed.D in leadership.  Follow the links to our program pages:  There you can find a lot more than need be included here, such as departmental contacts and links to our faculty. The page you are on now has contact information and serves mostly as a gateway to other pages in this site. Click on the Site Map below for shortcuts to everything. Somewhere around here you will find some stuff about me and a variety of links to research & technology resources I rely on for productivity and teaching. There are also some diversions on that same links page, which I define as...a fruitful waste of time. Some images are links your mouse can chase, like the one at the top of this page.

    Other navigation aides include , ,  and , or variants thereof, which are clickable.  For best results, I recommend Netscape Navigator 4x (or some 4x version of the browser by that other company). All pages on this site are designed for an 800X600 display setting, and 32 bit color. If you get a truncated diswplay, it's probably because your screen setting is too small.  Enabling your browser's java script might also be helpful.  Note that there are references here and there that should have links but don't.  They will when I get to it.

 ... through here, you could chase down a short but outdated professional biography (in higher ed., we call it a vita) and

a list of classes I teach with course syllabi (below)
a special page devoted to my colleagues
multi-media class sessions (traditionally called lectures)
resources for students in social research (see diversions below)
some things I am doing with doctoral students

some publications and scholarly presentations

Office Hours:

ordinarily available Monday through Friday in the Smith Center for Excellence in Education (CEE), room 222 from about 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., although I try to keep posted hours as well (Tues. through Thurs., 1:00-3:00).  When I am in departmental or committee meetings, which is an unreasonable amount of time, I am, of course, not available. I prefer to keep class days as clear as I can for preparations.  In the Fall semester, that would be Tuesday and Wednesday.  Otherwise, I am occupied with several dissertations, committee work, and even a little research, so the prospect of me reliably keeping office hours is not real high.  Appointments are most effective in getting my attention, particularly if preceded by a phone call reminder that day.  You can check with  our departmental secretary, if you are looking for me and I can't be found through a phone call.  Her phone number is the same as mine. Email to my home address is probably the best way to contact me (I am online a lot of the time and do most of my academic work at home).
 

Courses

Syllabi are full text, just as you would ordinarily receive them as handouts in class.  They are indexed at the top for easy navigation internally to points of interest and to external documents.  At the end of each is a detailed schedule for the current or upcoming semester, or the one for the semester in which the course was most recently offered.  Links to class related supplemental materials are found in the text and in the schedule.  Regrettably, I have needed to make a rather direct statement on the syllabi index page that I hope will gain the attention of the occasional student who treats syllabi as irrelevant handouts.

This is a list.  Syllabi are thataway

I also put some class sessions on PowerPoint 97 slide presentations.  You can download those presentations to review what was covered in class.  Click on the button to go there.  I have also included a copy of PowerPoint Viewer for downloading in case students do not have a copy of the PowerPoint program.
 
 

This will take you to our Doctoral Program home page, forms to fill out, links to faculty; etc. You will need a copy of Adobe Acrobat reader for the forms. Hope has provided a link for you to download it.
 
 

DIVERSIONSand resources of a fun & academic nature: that is, tools you can use

These are some places I have visited & sometimes re-visit.  Many are valuable technology and social science research sources.  The fun & interesting things are at the top; the academic stuff, further down. If you go to any of these places, you will have to return on your own. Hey, hey!! Let's go!!

 

Heartfelt thanks for being here (Ya'll). (Just thought I'd throw it in).
