The 2015 Dean's Report from the University of San Diego's School of Leadership and Education Sciences (SOLES) highlights the school's progress and accomplishments in addressing societal challenges, teaching excellence, intellectual influence, and sustainability over the past few years. Key developments include conducting the first technology needs assessment of San Diego county schools, launching the inaugural class of the RISE Urban Leadership Fellows program, hosting the annual Nonprofit Governance Symposium, and evolving curriculum such as a new PhD specialization in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership. Dean Paula Cordeiro provides an introduction before passing the role to the new Dean, Dr. Nicholas Ladany.
2. Letter from Dean Ladany
I’m thrilled to be at the
University of San Diego and
to serve as the Dean of SOLES.
SOLES is a model school into
which a traditional school of
education can transform, and
Paula Cordeiro has been an inspirational leader.
The strong commitment to multiculturalism
and social justice; innovative programming;
global engagement; and multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary approaches to education are
SOLES’signature strengths.
I look forward to working with the talented
students, faculty, and staff; the dedicated donors
and partners; the highly accomplished alumni; and
the supportive USD administrators, in leading the
advancement of this tradition of excellence.
Kind regards,
Nicholas Ladany, PhD

Letter from Dean Cordeiro
The start of each school year
brings the promise of so
much potential. The atmosphere
of Hill Hall fills with excitement
and the promise of new
beginnings. This year is even more
notable for me as I begin my six month sabbatical
before returning to the SOLES faculty. And SOLES
welcomes its fourth dean, Dr. Nicholas Ladany.
Over the past 17 years, we’ve made great strides
together: We have celebrated more than 4,000
graduates, built a home for SOLES in Mother
Rosalie Hill Hall, added eight new degree programs,
and launched USD’s first online master’s degree
program. We also founded nine centers and two
institutes, created a new academic department,
moved into the top 10% of graduate schools of
education as ranked by US News and World Report
and hosted the inaugural SOLES Jeffersonian
Dinner. Five years ago we wrote a strategic plan,
which we accomplished in three years. We then
wrote another plan, that we have also surpassed, as
you will see in the pages that follow.
As you likely know, global education is a passion
of mine and I’m extremely proud of the work that
SOLES has done to contribute to the international
and cross-cultural education of our students and
faculty. Since 2009, all SOLES degree students
participate in an international experience through
the Global Center as a requirement for graduation.
In addition, the Cordeiro Global Research
Endowment Fund was established to support
faculty and students conducting research on
international themes or studying another language.
Continuing my commitment to global education,
I am honored to now serve as the Dammeyer
Distinguished Professor of Global Leadership
and Education.
Serving as the dean of SOLES and working with
the students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community
has been a privilege and an honor. We have
accomplished so much together.
Thank you for your continued support of SOLES.
Please stay in touch!

Dean Ladany Introduction
What first attracted you to SOLES?
SOLES is a model school,
and one that traditional
education schools can
transform into. SOLES is
the future of schools of
education. No longer can
schools stay narrowly
focused, such as only
operate in relation to K-12
education. Rather they
must be interdisciplinary
and multidisciplinary.
And SOLES has done
that. In addition, the
strong commitment to
multiculturalism and
social justice is very
compelling and fits with
my professional and
personal interests.
What do you see yourself first diving into?
Of course the first phase
of any new leader is to
listen and learn. It’s also
important to assess
the current strengths
and look for avenues
of innovation. For
example, strengthening
the connection with
the Catholic Diocese
and the Catholic
education community
holds promise. The
second potential
area of innovation is
creating further links
to the international
community. There’s a lot
of work SOLES has done
internationally and just
seeing ways that we can
strengthen those as well
is very exciting to me.
Tell us something
about you personally.
I’m very excited to be in
San Diego. The weather
is terrific. It’s nice to do
a lot of outdoor things.
I’m looking forward to
walking around campus
and meeting people.
In particular, I’m looking
forward to meeting
the SOLES community-
students, faculty, and
alumni.

Strategic Directions
In 2011-2012, the faculty, administration and
members of the SOLES advisory board undertook a
significant long term planning process which resulted
in the SOLES Strategic Directions for 2012-2015.
In the final years of Dean Cordeiro’s leadership,
SOLES surpassed all the goals laid out in this plan.
The four main initiatives in this plan are: addressing
societal challenges, teaching excellence, intellectual
influence and promoting sustainability. The following
sections are dedicated to the progress made in
each category.

Addressing
Societal
Challenges
As a prominent education and human services school we must confront important social justice issues.
SOLES’ strategic plans called for us to make an impact by expanding the reach of our centers and
institutes and engaging the greater San Diego community. We have marshalled academic expertise from
across the disciplinary spectrum, producing research and programming. We’ve made advancements in
preparing students for the workplace of the 21st century, meeting the leadership and management needs
of the nonprofit and public sectors, addressing the social-emotional needs of our community through
clinical work, and addressing teaching and learning issues locally, nationally and globally.
First-of-its-kind Technology Needs Assessment of San Diego
County Schools
The Mobile Technology Learning Center (MTLC)
completed a comprehensive study of technology use
and availability in San Diego County school districts
in February 2015. The study evaluated the availability
of internet and technology devices, teacher training
related to technology, and student use of mobile
learning devices such as iPads and netbooks.
Based on findings from this first-of-its kind
study, as a whole, San Diego County schools
lack the classroom technology to consistently
prepare students for the future.
Among the key findings from the study:
• Only 9% of high school students and 11% of
middle school students have full-time access to
a mobile device.*
• Aging infrastructure and devices was reported
as the greatest challenge among school
districts (58%), followed by bandwidth (42%),
and technology costs/lack of funding (24%).*
• School districts cited professional development
(teacher training) as their greatest need (47%),
followed by devices (26%), infrastructure (21%),
technical support (18%) and bandwidth (16%). *
Based on findings that one of the greatest needs
for districts implementing technology is effective
professional development for teachers, the MTLC
is partnering with school districts around the
county to provide strategic direction and support
for the redesign of professional learning. The MTLC
professional learning team supports leaders and
teachers in developing active learning environments
to maximize learning opportunities for students
through the use of mobile technology using a
student-centered approach. This approach fosters
both effective technology integration and student
critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration
skills, in order to prepare students to be successful
today and in their future education and careers.
*School districts may have chosen more than one response.

Leadership Institute Building Capacity Throughout San Diego
Established in 2001 to improve the study and practice
of leadership so that individuals, organizations and
communities can better meet the adaptive challenges
facing them, the Leadership Institute provides
educational programs, research opportunities and
a learning community that develops leaders from a
variety of professions.
Working with the San Diego Foundation’s
Center for Community Engagement,
SOLES’Leadership Institute conducted a learning-
oriented coaching engagement with the Great
Neighborhood Challenge. In 20 neighborhoods
across the county, graduate students worked as
emerging coaches to build interest in, and capacity
for, the practice of leadership and community
engagement. The Great Neighborhood Challenge
program was designed to promote social equity
and address local quality of life issues by helping to
build leadership and organization around specific
projects which ranged from festivals to public art to
healthy eating programs. Through the Leadership
Institute, the students provided reflective
assessment to track the projects’development and
strengthen community engagement. Scholarship and Practice
At the heart of the Leadership Institute is the
commitment to improve the study and practice of
leadership and further the understanding of the dynamic
nature of leadership, while connecting innovative
research with real-world application.

Community-based leaders from historically
underserved, urban areas of San Diego have the
opportunity to build their skills, capacity and
networks through the Urban Leadership Fellows
Program. The goal is to advance meaningful and
sustained change for their communities and our
region. Created through a partnership between
the Leadership Institute and RISE San Diego, and
launched in the spring of 2014, the program
will graduate 20-24 fellows each year. Using an
adaptive leadership approach that promotes
active engagement and deep reflection, the
program focuses on the personal and professional
development of each fellow through intensive
forums, development and implementation of a self-
selected community project, as well as coaching
and peer learning throughout the fellowship year.
Through deep reflection and experiential learning,
the fellows discover untapped strengths, develop
skills to make informed community interventions,
and build individual and collective capacity to
challenge old patterns that inhibit effectiveness.
Through their participation, RISE Urban Leadership
Fellows become equipped to take effective and
sustainable action to transform San Diego’s urban
communities for current and future generations.
Dr. Zachary Green, associate director of the
Leadership Institute and professor of practice in the
Department of Leadership Studies at SOLES, is the
faculty lead for the program.

Annual Nonprofit Governance
Symposium Develops
San Diego’s Board Members
and Leaders
More than 300 nonprofit professionals
and board members attended the annual
Nonprofit Governance Symposium, offered
by SOLES’ Institute for Nonprofit Education
and Research, to learn about nonprofit best
practices and hone their skills. Now in its 12th
year, the symposium offers workshops, seminars
and lectures that explore internal and external
strategies and systems to improve knowledge,
methods, tools and relationships for nonprofit
board members and leadership. This year, the
theme was Common Sense Governance, inspired
by the near-end of the San Diego Opera, and
featured a panel discussion comprised of the
board members who saved it from closure.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Nonprofit
Leadership and Management Program’s
scholarship fund, raising more than $50,000
in 2015.
KALEIDOSCOPE AWARD FOR EXCEPTIONAL GOVERNANCE
The highlight of each event is the awarding of
the Kaleidoscope Award for Board Excellence.
Each year the Kaleidoscope Award committee,
comprised of faculty and alumni of the Nonprofit
Leadership and Management Master’s Program,
honor a nonprofit organization that exemplifies
excellent board governance. Moving from one
kaleidoscope lens to another is critical for any
organization, yet it is not easy. It requires new
thinking and new approaches, the foundation
for which the symposium offers workshops and
training, and this award recognizes.

EPHIPHANY PREP CHARTER SCHOOL
SOLES is well represented at Epiphany Prep Charter
School, a K-8 school serving students in the economically
disadvantaged Encanto area of San Diego. Sarah
Raskin, chief academic officer and founding principal,
and Stacey Rawson, school counselor, have created a
student-centered environment, and associate professor
Dr. Ian Martin serves on its board.
In 2013, 75% of its 4th-7th grade students had been
expelled or suspended multiple times from their
previous schools. Epiphany’s approach to discipline is
based on positive behavior intervention systems, explicit
social-emotional learning instruction and restorative
justice. Rather than assigning consequences for poor
behavior, Epiphany’s administration facilitates sessions
with students to determine solutions to problems,
address underlying concerns and work collectively
toward tangible outcomes. In its first two years,
suspensions decreased by 54%.
Epiphany’s mission is to prepare students for college,
career and life success. Rawson prepares students
to transition to top rated high schools by meeting
individually with all 8th grade students and their
families to explore options that will best fit their college
plans. Additionally, students are coached through the
application and enrollment process, including school
visitations, interviews and auditions.

Improving Mental Health Care for Service Members
and their Families
Inspired by a strong military presence in
San Diego and the need for mental health
professionals to learn more about working
effectively with members of the military and
their families, the Department of Counseling
& Marital and Family Therapy hosted Serving
Those Who Serve, a conference for mental health
professionals. Attendees from around the county
learned new ways to effectively work with service
members, networked with others to become
better equipped to deal with this growing need,
and were inspired to improve services available to
the military.
An interactive and engaging environment, the
conference included keynote addresses from Dr.
Heidi Kraft, an Iraq war veteran and former active
duty Navy clinical psychologist, and Marjorie
Morrison, CEO and founder of PsychArmor
Institute. Breakout sessions explored topics
including moral injury, mental health stigma
in the military, and mind body medicine. The
conference also focused on understanding the
military culture, providing training resources for
professionals, understanding the perspectives
on mental health challenges, and addressing the
stages of military life.

Evolving Curriculum
Curriculum at SOLES is a living thing, constantly
evolving to address external changes and best prepare
our students for their careers after graduation. These
changes are driven by assessment data from students
and alumni, information from potential employers,
and faculty expertise about trends in higher education
in their respective fields.
Anew PhD specialization, Teaching, Learning
& Leadership, was created this year by the
Department of Learning and Teaching (DLT) and
the Department of Leadership Studies (DLS).
Combining the strengths of DLS and DLT, this
program addresses the lack of opportunities for
educators who wish to take up leadership roles
at their school or district, support the long term
growth of K-12 teachers through teacher education
and professional development, or further their
own learning.
Funded by a USD Internal Assessment Grant, the
Department of Learning andTeaching examined
assessment results from alumni, employer and
student exit surveys and conducted a full curriculum
audit of all its courses. To address the areas identified
- integration of technology in planning, teaching
and assessment, classroom management, and
teaching to a diverse population of students - the
DLT provided faculty with professional development
opportunities and shared research on best practices.
Syllabi were revised and rubrics were developed to
measure new outcomes. Using data and continuing
to evaluate instruction is an ongoing process that
will continue to strengthen our students’educational
outcomes.
The Master in Leadership Studies recently
underwent a curricular change to reaffirm the
degree’s professional focus where we provide
students with theoretical and conceptual
foundations and emphasize application to prepare
them to work in the field of their choice. Similarly,
the Department of Leadership Studies is in the
final phases of a revision of the PhD curriculum
that started with a review of comparable and
aspirational PhD programs around the world
Teaching
Excellence
Innovation is in the DNA of SOLES. We created the first Leadership Studies doctoral program
in the nation, we were the first education school in the nation to require that all students
complete an international experience, and we have students from all three departments
conducting action research projects annually. SOLES is nimble, which enables us to be
highly responsive to our community and stakeholders by evolving our existing programs
and curriculum, adding new degree or certificate programs, and hiring faculty with new
specializations and expertise in areas that are in-demand from employers.

Expanding the Capacity of Educators with Special
Education Students
Educators will have an opportunity to deepen
their understanding of best teaching practices
for children with learning disabilities through a
new fellows program. Beginning in fall of 2015
with educators from local San Diego schools, the
Johnson Family Foundation has funded a fellows
program through the SOLES Department of
Learning and Teaching. The cohort will reflect on
their teaching practices and learn how cultural and
social contexts influence students’achievement
and affect their behavior.
In a continuation of the annual symposium on
inclusion in K-12 education, the fellows program
will host guest scholars who will present some of
the most important issues in the area of learning
disabilities. These events will be open to the
public, and Johnson Fellows will receive additional
support through workshops immediately following
the events. Additionally, they will use an online
networking medium to facilitate fellowship and
collaboration, and will present their self-reflections
and changes in practice at the end of the program.

that shape the degree.
Just three years ago the counseling and marital and
family therapy (MFT) programs joined under one
department: the Department of Counseling &
Marital and Family Therapy. This year the Clinical
Mental Health Counseling specialization received
accreditation from the Council for Accreditation
of Counseling and Related Educational Programs
(CACREP), becoming one of only three such clinical
mental health programs in California and joining
the School Counseling specialization and the MFT
program with existing national accreditation. For
each of these programs, practicum and fieldwork
training is arguably the most important training
experience, and we’re able to offer very diverse
opportunities thanks to our partner organizations
– while many are long-standing partnerships, we’re
thrilled to welcome many new partners, doubling
the offerings for students in recent years.

School for 11 years.
In addition to his classes, Lancia has developed a
program called After-school Center for Excellence
and Support (ACES), which offers students
consistent academic support and provides a place
for students to gather after classes in an emotionally
supportive environment. Three years ago it began
as a voluntary lunchtime writing program and has
now grown to include all subject areas with 14,750
student visits in two years of operation as an after
school program. Students can ask questions that
they don’t feel comfortable asking in the classroom,
advocate for themselves, and form positive
relationships with teachers and administrators.
Lancia now moves on as a finalist for the countywide
Teacher of the Year competition, and will be
recognized by the San Diego County Office of
Education in October.

MAAC PROJECT
Otto Cocino and a team of students created a
comprehensive compliance plan for his employer
Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee on Anti-
Poverty of San Diego County (MAAC) Project as part of
their ethics course in the nonprofit leadership master’s
program. MAAC, which serves more than 35,000
individuals throughout San Diego annually, offers
programs to maximize self sufficiency for individuals
and families. It is subject to requirements from city,
county, state, and federal regulations, so MAAC’s
leadership saw great value in the plan, implemented
most of the recommendations and promoted Cocino
to director of compliance.
In addition to overseeing audits and maintaining
MAAC’s contracts, Cocino has developed an ethics
hotline, training for employees, and works closely with
the audit and compliance committee of the board of
directors on all reporting. Moving forward, Cocino is
striving to reach beyond compliance and has taken
on an Efforts to Outcomes (ETO) initiative to track
progress toward strategic goals and evaluate key
elements to better the organization.

Goal-Setting Curriculum Helps Students Achieve
Anew curriculum created by Dr. Ian Martin,
assistant professor in the Department of
Counseling & Marital and Family Therapy, helps
school counselors teach 3rd – 12th grade students
about how to set and achieve their own goals.
Finalized last year, the program was piloted in seven
5th-8th grade classrooms in three schools within
the Santee School District. Each classroom used the
curriculum for eight weeks, teaching students the
10 key program principles.
Each week within the pilot, the
students worked toward the
same academic, social or personal
goals, and tracked their progress.
The curriculum allows for self-
regulated learning, so the students
understand how they learn, build
motivation, and increase their
accountability. Short-term changes
in school engagement and classroom climate were
measured pre and post curriculum intervention.
The pilot results are currently being analyzed with a
report anticipated in the fall of 2016.
The curriculum offers a baseline program of
principles and processes for educators to build
upon with their own strengths and creativity. For
example, in the pilot, counselors and teachers
worked collaboratively to incorporate
additional design elements like
inspirational quotes, social skills
activities and Jeopardy-style games.
This flexibility allows practitioners
to have a sense ownership over the
process and play to their strengths.
The colorful, modern, and engaging design of
the materials help to personalize the process for
participating students.

SOLES hosted our first Jeffersonian dinner- an
evening of informed conversation, transformative
connections, and dinner- with a twist. At 12 tables
placed throughout Mother Rosalie Hill Hall, more
than 120 guests participated in conversations
around one of nine topics, pre-selected by
them and hosted by a SOLES faculty member. In
Jeffersonian-style, only one conversation occurred
at each table, with only one person speaking at
a time. Generously underwritten by the James
Irvine Foundation, this event was one of a series of
farewell events hosted in honor of Dean Cordeiro’s
final year as dean of SOLES.
