Dr. Shalia Mullholand
Dr. Shaila Mulholland is a faculty member in the Sanford College of Education Higher Education Administration Program and a researcher for the Sanford Harmony Program at National University. Her teaching and research interests have focused around diversity in education, history of higher education, and case study methods.

Using case study and phenomenological methods, she also explores educational practices and educational environments that promote student success for diverse students.

Grants Awarded
California Association of Professors of Educational Administrators (CAPEA)
Drs. Michele Pecina and Vicki Pontius were awarded a CAPEA grant.
Dr. Patricia A. Dickenson Awarded National Council for Teachers of Mathematics
Dr. Patricia Dickenson was awarded the Mathematics Education Trust Grant from the National Council of Teaching Mathematics (NCTM), her research will examine the role of social media in teacher directed, mathematics professional development. Here is the abstract from her proposal:
Shaping a teacher's beliefs and practices takes time, commitment and support. Research suggests teachers need at least twenty instances of practice to master a new skill (Joyce & Showers, 2002). The purpose of this study is to explore the role of social media as a tool to support teacher professional development in mathematics. Teacher participants will engage in math professional development by watching recorded lessons and participating in online discussions. The site math coach will prepared and record teaching math lessons based on participants selected math topics for demonstration. When professional development is driven by the needs of participants content knowledge and practice grows and this directly impacts students in their class (Darling-Hammond and McLaughlin 1995; Little 1998). Teacher efficacy and growth mindset will be assessed both before and after this year long professional development to determine what impact social media may have on teacher efficacy and practices in mathematics.
