Education Graduate Authors Book on Early Reading Development

Alvin Haywood, Ed.D., graduate of NSU’s Abraham, S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice, recently authored the book, Cultivating Early Reading Development: Reaping the Benefits of School Success.

Haywood was born in Vallejo, California, and attended public schools there from kindergarten through the community college level. Upon transferring to San Jose State University (CA), he later received undergraduate degrees in social work and psychology, a master’s degree in education, and both teaching and administrative credentials. After retirement from 34 years of elementary and middle school teaching and overcoming a bout with cancer, Haywood enrolled in FCE&SCJ’s doctorate program. He graduated in 2015.

His second book is currently in publication–Students Loving Math: What’s Reading Got to do With It?

This summer Haywood will travel to Barcelona, Spain, to participate in the annual international conference of the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM). The theme of this year’s conference is: Public Policy in an Era of Rapid Change.
