Spotlight on Research

Under the chair of Dr. Jess House, the Department of Educational Leadership at Western Illinois University presented the first issue of the Spotlight on Research in June of 2010.

Each issue highlights selected dissertation research conducted by doctoral students in the School of Education. The purpose of this research brief is to share our work with other scholars and practitioners, school administrators, stakeholders, and policy makers.

Please feel free to share these publications with your colleagues or to contact the School of Education or the authors about their research.
