萝莉网

I have been editor of the 萝莉网Journal of Scholarship and Practice since 2015, when I served as a co-editor to Chris Tienken before assuming the chief editor role a year later. The JSP鈥檚 mission has been to provide school leaders, primarily superintendents and other central office administrators, along with higher-ed scholars studying K-12 education, the research-supported content to help guide their stewardship of districts.

Our contributors have been scholars and practitioners from the ranks of top research institutions, graduate programs preparing teachers and leaders, and K-12 public school systems from across the nation, representing rural, suburban, and urban communities. JSP issues have included diverse voices and controversial topics, often around themes that reflect current challenges facing superintendents and their teams. JSP鈥檚 editorial team has sought studies and commentaries to help our readers better understand the commonality of such challenges, along with the barriers and the opportunities.

School districts are complex, dynamic, and contested environments. Those inhabiting them represent a microcosm of the larger society with its cultural and political influences and tensions. Leading schools require a diverse set of skills and attributes, including but not limited to courage, compassion, patience, adaptability, intellect, and curiosity.
