Dr. Carol Beckerleg has dedicated her career to teaching and learning for students of all ages. She has worked in public education since the 1970s, when schools were still segregated, programs for special needs students were non-existent, “team-building” referred to the football program and transformational leadership was a dream of the future.

Carol has been a student of leadership, delving into the relationship between leaders and followers. Her Doctoral Program at the University if Minnesota included developing a Monograph entitled “One Hundred Years of Leadership” and studying the followership styles of educational leaders.
