ACADEMIC Professor of Educational and Organizational Leadership, Teaching, and Learning EXPERIENCE Education should be relevant to a student’s life, since the goal of education is preparation for the world outside of the classroom. The belief is that students must engage in realistic exploratory learning situations because they will encounter them outside of the classroom. Utilizing instructional time to focus on students’ needs in a relaxed environment will give every student an opportunity to reflect and discuss views on each topic; emphasizing student’s creativity will empower them when they face the real world. Placing the focus on current trends and issues will also make lessons more relevant to meet the students’ needs. Dr. David B. Ross has many years of experience in adult education, leadership, ethics, policy and curriculum development, operations management, and classroom instruction. In his present role as a full-time professor at the Abraham S. Fischler College of Education, Nova Southeastern University, he teaches doctoral level courses in educational and organizational leadership to prepare today’s practitioners who will assume leadership positions in any profession for current and future challenges. 1
