In 2011, Practical Applications of Educational Research and Basic Statistics was published. The text provides practical knowledge in educational research for graduate students at the doctoral and master’s level. I am currently revising the book and expect to complete it by 2013.

Words of Encouragement

“Let no youth have any anxiety about the upshot (conclusion) of his education, whatever the line of it may be. If he keeps faithfully busy each hour of the working day, he may safely leave the final result to

itself. He can, with perfect certainty, count on waking up some fine morning to find himself one of the competent ones of his generation, in whatever

pursuit he may have singled out.” William James (1842-1910)

27

I will continue to be dedicated to teaching, research, service, and providing Leadership through Learning.
