Spokane educator, Tammy Campbell, receives
educational leadership scholarship to support graduate studies
OLYMPIA, Washington—Tammy Campbell, a Washington State University
doctoral student and district administrator in the Spokane School
District, is the recipient of the fifth annual Dr. Doyle E. Winter
Scholarship for Administrative Leadership in Education. The scholarship
is awarded by the Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA)
and Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation (SNW). SNW Senior Vice
President Trevor Carlson and WASA President John Erickson
(superintendent, Vancouver School District) made the announcement of the
award yesterday at the WASA Awards Luncheon in Spokane. The luncheon was
part of the annual WASA/AWSP Summer Conference for school
administrators, which is jointly sponsored by WASA and the Association
of Washington School Principals (AWSP). The conference began on Sunday,
June 29 and ended Tuesday, July 1.
Upon learning of her selection, Ms. Campbell commented,
“Reflecting on the years of service Doyle E. Winter committed
to improving administrative leadership, I am honored to be the recipient
of the 2008 Doyle E. Winter Scholarship. My doctoral focus is on the new
work of school leaders in fostering student voice, so we create engaging
and relevant learning opportunities for a very diverse student body. In
these environments, educators hold an unshakeable belief in the promise
and potential of EVERY student, and they know the success of any reform
depends on their willingness to authorize and act on the insights of
their students.”
Currently the executive director of Teaching and Learning Services with
the Spokane School District, Campbell has over 10 years’
experience as an educator. She is completing the third year of a
four-year doctoral program at WSU. In 1999 she earned a masters degree
in curriculum and instruction from Eastern Washington University. Her
undergraduate work was in elementary education, graduating with a BS
degree from Minot State University, Minot, North Dakota in
1996.
The Winter Scholarship is designed to assist talented and committed
educational administrators as they enhance those skills needed to serve
as educational leaders in the field of public education.
Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation and WASA recognize the need to
support and encourage educational administrators to advance their
administrative leadership skills in the field of education as the
demands placed upon school administrators intensify as they work to meet
the challenges and celebrate the successes of new state graduation
requirements and No Child Left Behind legislation.
Through this scholarship, $1,000 is awarded to a Washington school
administrator who is in or will begin a doctoral program in education in
the year the award is presented. It was established in honor of Dr.
Doyle Winter, who retired in 2002 after completing 44 years of service
for Washington public schools. Dr. Winter is a former executive director
of WASA and has been recognized repeatedly for exhibiting exemplary
leadership ability and enhancing school administration throughout his
career.
