Publisher's Synopsis
In From Farm to University, the author shares experiences and lessons learned on his personal journey to becoming and living roles as a teacher at the K-12 level, a university faculty member, dean, provost, interim president, and regional chancellor.
From Farm to University is not a guidebook for those interested in educational leadership or already engaged in leadership positions. The author makes it clear that there is no guidebook or checklist to follow when leading free-thinking and highly diverse people who inhabit our schools and universities. Stories laced with periodic advice from the author's experience working in several schools, colleges, and universities across six states point towards what the reader may wish to consider when encountering similar situations, but with no concise listing of "what to do." Still, anyone wishing to pursue a career in educational leadership may find this book helpful.
