Dennis Conners Dennis Arthur Conners came to the Department of Organizational Leadership with over 30 years experience as an educational leader. He likes to say that he is a "recovering administrator" referring to his practitioner roles as a principal and assistant principal in the K-12 system and program director, dean and academic vice president in higher education. Interspersed with the practice of leading, he "preaches" the theory of leadership in graduate programs at both the master's and doctoral level. His writing and research focus primarily on transformational learning and leading. In particular, he is concerned with how graduate leadership programs can intentionally turn the curriculum inside out, reconnecting the learning agenda with the real world outside to integrate theory, consciousness, and profound social change. Married for over 35 years to his wife Barbara, they have two grown children both in education. |
