Jim Scheurich, professor and head of the Department of Educational Administration and Human Resource Development, was awarded the Master Professor distinction from the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA).

Douglas J. Palmer, dean of the College of Education and Human Development, congratulated Scheurich on the distinction saying, "Jim is a passionate advocate for quality education for all students in our nation's schools, and this passion is communicated in his classes, his research and his department head administrative activities. We are very fortunate to have Jim on our faculty and as a member of our college's leadership team."

The UCEA Master Professor distinction is given to a faculty member who has an outstanding record in teaching, advising, leadership, innovativeness, research, diversity and public service. It is an extremely prestigious award that has only been given to one other scholar to date.

Scheurich, who has served in the current leadership role for his department since 2004, is the co-editor of the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education and the author or co-author of the books, Research Method in the Postmodern, Anti-Racist Scholarship, Leadership for Equity and Excellence, and Educational Equity and Accountability.

He is also the author or co-author of over 30 articles in journals such as Educational Researcher, Educational Administration Quarterly, Phi Delta Kappan, Urban Education, Journal of Education Policy, Harvard Educational Review, among several others. In addition, he has served on several committees in UCEA and the American Educational Research Association (AERA), including the AERA publications committee and the AERA presidential nominating committee.  

Scheurich has helped prepare over 20 doctoral students who are now university professors and has raised over $5 million in external funds. His research interests include race and racism, equity in education, schools that are successful for children of color, educational accountability, Foucault, and qualitative research methodologies.

"Any award is a responsibility," Scheurich said. "My discipline is educational leadership within a democracy. This discipline, by its very nature, requires a commitment to equitable educational experiences of all citizens within a democracy. Thus, the award means even greater responsibility must be given to this improvement of equity."

Scheurich will receive the award at the UCEA conference in San Antonio, Nov. 9-12.
