Alisa Griffis is a professor of education at Indiana Wesleyan University, where she is the head of Educational Research in the Master’s in Education Program. She teaches all classes in the MEd program as well as undergraduate English.
Griffis has a BA degree in Interpersonal and Organizational Communication, an MS in Education, and a PhD in Education, with a specialization in brain research in learning and methods of learning acquisition. She holds a multiple subject (K-12) teaching credential with Cultural Language Acquisition and Development certificate, an English credential, and a Health credential.
Griffis wrote The Power of Three: Managing Life in a Hectic World after observing so many energetic professionals begin to wear down after years of being overly busy. She also works as a high school teacher with underprivileged youth in Perris, California. Griffis loves motivating students who have fallen through the cracks in “the system” and helping them put their lives back together, graduate from high school, and go on to become successful and productive citizens.
She was named Inland Empire Teacher of the Year for 2010 for her work with her high school students. She is a mom to three lovely “adultish” kids (college age!), and enjoys spending time with her husband and family.
Margaret Grogan is currently Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy, and Dean of the School of Educational Studies at Claremont Graduate University, California. Her current research focuses on women in leadership, the moral and ethical dimensions of leadership, and leadership for social justice.
