(a private college prep school) in Adelaide, where I addressed the Australian Council for Educational Administration.

General Qualifications, page 2

I have fulfilled various engagements (guest speaker, seminar leader, external examiner, etc.) at fifty-five other institutions of higher education: forty-eight in the U. S., four in Canada, two in Australia, and one in Somalia (in that tragic country’s National University in Mogadishu).

Among other capacities apart from my expert witnessing, I have been vice president of the American Educational Research Association, which I think has gone far astray in recent years; founder of Associates for Research on Private Education and its professional journal; member of the board of directors of the National Catholic Education Association (though I am not Catholic); Charter Commissioner of the Commission on Educational Issues; board member of the Peterson Foundation (which sponsored five private schools in Mexico City); and founder, editor, issue editor, or editorial board member of eight professional journals.

I have done variegated work (speaking, preparing analyses, staging workshops, conducting studies, etc.) for many other U.S. institutions, including the President’s Commission on School Finance, the Office of Economic Opportunity, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the National Center for Education Statistics, the National Institute of Education, legislative commissions in four states, two state departments of education, several public school systems, the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles and many other private school agencies, many associations of educators, many associations of citizens interested in education (including the National Conference of Christians and Jews;  the Church Federation of Greater Chicago;  the Church Plan Commission for Metropolitan New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut; and the National Committee for Support of the Public Schools),  the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory, the Educational Testing Service, the Hegeler Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the Liberty Fund, the Pacific Institute for Policy Studies,  the Sterling Institute, Wingspread,  the Education Commission of the States, the Council of State Governments, and (in Somalia) the U. S. Agency for International Development.  I have served, in Canada, the Western Canadian Association of School Administrators and the Vancouver public school trustees and, in Australia, the (federal) Schools Commission, the Australian Council for Educational Administration, and two state departments of education.
