from the Shadowlands.

As a senior manager, our team reversed a 20-year enrollment decline, setting record retention and re-enrollments. We staved off bankruptcy and restored solvency to the organization. Enrollment has increased wherever I managed a school. Serving as the lead accreditation administrator, I secured eight accreditation visits from four accreditation agencies (SACS / AdvancED, ACTABS, and ICAA). I served on a District Effectiveness and Compliance (DEC) team to intervene at a school in the Dallas ISD for the Texas Education Agency.

Successfully performed the full range of pedagogy – high school classroom teacher, coach, Athletic Director, Assistant Principal, Principal, and Academic Dean. At the higher education level, taught as adjunct professor in varied forms of technology-mediated pedagogy – tech-enhanced, 1:1, BYOD, blended/hybrid learning, flipped classrooms, and distance/eLearning. My dissertation quantified the successful completion of Massive Open Online Courses using Machine Learning and Big Data.
