Finding Leadership 정 (Belonging)
Paul Koh is a Korean immigrant and educator who engages in a praxis rooted in unconditional belonging. As an assistant professor at Towson University, his work is informed by the experiences of Asian American PK-12 leaders and its connections to cultivating transformational spaces, developing counternarratives/counterstories, enacting collectivist leadership approaches, and building cross-racial coalitions.
Prior to joining higher education, he served as a history teacher, assistant principal, principal, principal supervisor, and assistant superintendent in the Bay Area and Wake County (NC).
At Towson University, Paul teaches courses focused on leadership, coaching, data-based decision-making, school finance, and school law. He enjoys working with educators to ensure schools are places of purpose, belonging, and success for all students.
