I ran across your Blog while doing some online research for a national initiative I am a team member of called TEAL (Teaching Adult Literacy in Education). I was reading through Edutopia's limericks on "How to Improve Education" and I saw your post! Ditto and Amen to your statements! Love the art work on your Blog...I grew up in that neck of the woods on the Eleven Point River (my parents owned Woods' Canoe Rental while I was growing up there and my dad taught elementary at Alton for a while and my grandmother Woods was a principal at Couch). I am in Mississippi now.I teach GED Option at a high school and my husband and I both teach Adult Education for a community college....but, there is NO PLACE LIKE HOME! Seeing your art work made me "homesick" for the rivers there!(They are all muddy waters here in Mississippi.) Keep up your good work in education! If you ever need two educators with a desire to focus on what can be done, rather than on fretting over what is not being done....let us know...we would welcome the opportunity to move HOME! Sincerely, Debbie Langston debbie.langston@colin.edu
Dr. Goddard was born in Springfield, Missouri. Kevin attended Republic Schools. Kevin earned the following degrees:
• B. A. in English and Secondary Education with Honors from Drury University.
• M. S. in Education in Secondary Administration from Missouri State University.
• Ed. D. in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis with an emphasis in the school superintendency from the University of Missouri.
Kevin taught 7-12 art for 4 years, was a middle school principal for 5 years, and served as the principal grades 5-6 on the Zuni Indian Reservation, New Mexico. The last 4 years, Kevin has been the superintendent in Eminence, MO. Kevin and Melanie have 8 children. During Kevin’s time in education, he worked with many marginalized students from low-income families and conducted trips during the summers to Chicago, D.C., and Santa Fe to help those students and families build sociocultural capital which ultimately led to the study of emergent leadership in high-performing, high-poverty Missouri schools.
