Dianne L. Hoff comes to West Georgia as Associate Dean for Teacher Preparation and Professional Programs. Previously, she was a professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Maine, teaching education law, policy, research, and finance. Her undergraduate and master’s degrees are from Indiana University, and she holds an Ed.D. from the University of Louisville. Prior to her academic appointments she served as a principal in large schools in Georgia and southern California.
She conducts research on the social/political context of schooling – specifically the ways law, policy, and practice intersect to create discrimination challenges for schools. She is currently conducting research on contemporary legal issues that schools face including cyberbullying, charging students for activities (pay-to-play), and appropriate accommodations for students with peanut allergies.
Dr. Hoff is married to Dr. Peter S. Hoff, and they have three children. Marc is a federal patent judge, Jay is a spatial and information systems engineer for a large firm in Philadelphia, and Lara is a music teacher in Minnesota. The Hoffs have two Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers, Wheaties and Chex.
