Opis

Jesse Jeremy Payne, Ed.D., earned his terminal degree from the University of Southern California. His research focused on the similarities and differences in perceptions of job skills for effective elementary school principals in urban areas. After collecting data from 51 school superintendents, 114 principals and 101 teachers, he discovered the differences in perception far outweighed the similarities, even within similar stakeholder groups. * * * Dr. Payne is the son-in-law of renowned physician and psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen, who pioneered the use of brain scans to study neural pathways in the brain and how they relate to learning. Payne's work with Amen and his experience as a classroom teacher led to the creation of the "Making a Good Brain Great" curriculum. * * * Payne also has published "What I Learned from a Penguin: A Story on How to Help People Change," which was created to help children understand their own brains and personalities. * * * Jesse Payne, Ed.D., serves as an assistant professor at Corban University's School of Education. He and his wife, Breanne, and their children live in Salem, Oregon.
