ALL – Public policy advice: I will turn to some of the best minds in education policy. As a research professor, I’ve had the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with many of the leading experts in education policy across the nation and have co-authored journals, books and papers with my colleagues from the American Educational Research Association. I will also pull together Arizona stakeholders such as educators and business leaders who are ready to stop talking and take action.
