GENERAL INFORMATION

I am professor of educational administration and policy, named also 'educational leadership.' This field of study explores organizational and managerial processes in formal educational organizations, such as schools, colleges and universities and in a wide variety of informal educational institutions. Personally, I am fascinated to know more about the career of teachers and educational leaders, their patterns of emotion regulation, and their performances during crises. Moreover, I am interested in the impact of education reforms on school members and policy-makers and in the epistemological foundations of my field of study.

1. Emotions in educational organizations.
2. Educational leadership.
3. The organizational crisis in educational systems.
4. Career in teaching and in principalship.
5. Comparative education.

I teach courses named 'Introduction to Educational Administration,' 'Educational Leadership,' Principalship as an emotional practice,' 'Project Management in Educational Organizations,' and 'Understanding the Workplace.'
