I am a lecturer at the school of Education, Division of Policy, Administration, and Leadership in Education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
My major research interests are: organizational learning (schools’ absorptive capacity and ambidexterity), leaders’ cognitive complexity and educational leaders’ cognitive aspects, leaders’ characteristics and student outcomes, leadership for society – leading for social mobility and integration, and leading schools in times of crisis.
My work has been published in many journals including Personnel Psychology, 'Compare' Journal of Comparative Education, Educational Management Administration & Leadership, Leadership and Policy in Schools, Thinking Skills and Creativity, Journal of Educational Administration and International Journal of Educational Management.
Among other research projects, I am currently engaged in two years study titled " Leading crisis: Developing a scale for principals’ leadership in crises times". Funded by Chief Scientist –Israel's Ministry of Education.
Recently, I received a grant from the Spencer Foundation to conduct a study on how educators can empower Bedouin students from unrecognized villages.
