Teaching and Research Interests
- Education and work transitions for youth and adults
- Work-based learning
- Integration of academic and occupational
education
How well we, as vocational educators, prepare
people for life roles—within the workplace, family, and
community—will determine the kind of society we have today and
the kind of society our children will live in tomorrow.
My interest in understanding and improving educational transitions,
particularly transitions between education and work, have led to
a series of studies that examine the mechanism by which the
workplace and formal education are connected. These studies have
included high schools and two-year colleges in urban and rural
settings. What I most enjoy about my research is that I'm able
to apply the results in my work with schools and organizations
to have an immediate impact on practice.
I currently serve on the Minnesota P-16
Education Partnership, the board of the National Council on
Workforce Education, and the USDE National Center for Education
Statistics Technical Review Panel for Career and Technical
Education. I have received nine awards for outstanding research
presentations or publications and outstanding service awards
from the National Council of Local Administrators and the
Minnesota Association of Career and Technical Education
Administrators. I served as editor for the Journal for
Research in Vocational Education (2000-2001).
