After completing 30 years in public education as a teacher and a principal, I have spent the last 10 years as an Associate Professor at Purdue University Calumet. My teaching duties include the core courses for Educational Administration and other individualized courses for doctoral candidates. I serve as Executive Director of The Center for Educational Leadership (CEL) which was created 7 years ago with a seed grant from the Wallace Readers Digest Fund. Our mission at the center is to serve Indiana's school leaders and help them create the highest quality learning environments possible. I am always interested in networking with other colleagues who have similar interests to mine. If you are interested in research concerning school leadership and reform, feel free to send me an e-mail at frampton@calumet.purdue.edu.
