Overall Research Project Description:
 The increased frequency of crisis across schools (e.g., COVID, hurricanes, tornado, school shootings, etc) and the critical role played by principals in navigating them creates a question of whether principals are adequately prepared to lead their schools during periods of disruptions, chaos, and uncertainties. Recognizing that national and state educational leadership standards serve as a blueprint for what aspiring principals should know and be able to do, the author is interested in understanding the extent to which educational leadership standards (national-PSEL  and 50 states) are attentive to the crisis leadership roles played by principals. The findings from this study will likely be of interest to those in educational leadership, leadership preparation, and educational policies relevant to educational leadership and leadership preparation.

Research Tasks:
literature review, data collection (locating state educational leadership standards), data extraction, coding & data analysis

Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
Recommended: excellent analytical and writing skills


Mentoring Philosophy:
My approach to to mentoring include three interconnection principles/ beliefs:
1. Getting to know students: Understanding my students, their interest, and goals will allow me to better support them and their experiences. 

2. Accessibility - I believe its important to be accessible to students, this includes being flexible to facilitate and support their needs. This might include arranging times to meet with these individuals outside of office hours, beyond business hours, or even on weekends.

3. Clear and frequent communication - One of the best ways to provide effective mentorship is to ensure mutual understanding between mentor and mentee so goals can be made explicit. Very clear and frequent communication provides one avenue to ensure this.
