Dr. J. Tim Goddard is Professor of Education at the University of Prince Edward Island, where he also serves as Graduate Studies Coordinator within the Faculty of Education. His research and teaching is in the field of educational administration and leadership, broadly defined, with a focus on international development and education in fragile communities.
