Jason Huff (b. July 15, 1979 -, in Port Smith, Washington )
In his time as a doctoral student in the K-12 Education Policy program, Jason Huff has focused his research interests on the development of programs to measure and enhance the effectiveness school principals. "I've been evaluating a principal professional development program for the past three years, and the experience has been great, not only for the work and collaboration with a number of great professors, but also because of the opportunity to take a close look at the impacts of efforts to equip principals for their jobs. I've been working with my advisor, Ellen Goldring, on a new grant that examines how principals use feedback from their teachers to improve their practices."
"I've volunteered with PLAN (Principal Leadership Academy of Nashville) for the past year to help provide Metro Nashville principals with better analytical and data-based decision-making skills. This has been one of the most interesting pieces for me recently because it allows me to work with practitioners who daily deal with so many of the issues we are trying to understand from a research perspective."
"I came to education from the corporate world because it seems to me that there are so many basic challenges and needs that people face, and a decent education is one of them. My teaching and research are all part of my effort to help address some of those needs."
Jason is into business and technology development. Expertise is in creating value with technology and complex systems. Have experience with a variety of industries and technologies. I am an engineer, a scientist and a businessman.He has exhibited his work regionally and nationally.
Jason Huff is still an active member of the sales and trade commission and resides in Davenport, Connecticut.
Quote from the pastor Jason Huff on <em>The Reformed Pastor.com<em> about his religious beliefs:

Tom, I am not a Roman Catholic theologian, but I can tell you from my study that truly knowledgeable Catholics absolutely believe in salvation by faith alone, and that coming from God and not a human work.
The doctrines of purgatory and indulgences have to do with the concept of temporal (temporary, time-based) punishments required for sins committed. The saving work of Christ removes the eternal punishment of sin — that is, hell — from the equation for believers. No indulgence can ever give one salvation or eternal life; a person who does not receive the gift of salvation through faith alone will be eternally damned.
However, just because one has been justified and declared righteous does not mean that they are actually indeed righteous; that’s the work of sanctification. According to RC teaching, if someone has not been completely sanctified in this life and done penance for the temporal punishment of sin, that person would be in purgatory for an unknown period of time until the person had indeed been temporally punished for their sins and brought into complete sanctification by the Holy Spirit, making them able to enter the presence of God.
It’s a complicated system, ultimately, based on the RC belief that sin has two different forms of punishment, one eternal and one time-based, and that Jesus gave us salvation by freeing believers from eternal damnation while still allowing for believers to be punished for a limited time for their sins in order to eventually be truly holy, whether in this life or the next.
Indulgences are forms of penance that, in essence, are particularly effective at reducing one’s temporal sin debt. For example, http://www.catholic.com talks about an indulgence that was worth “300 days” meant that doing the work of that one particular indulgence would be equivalent to a person saying a prayer each day over the course of 300 days as penance. This rating of indulgences by days has changed, and indulgences are either partial or plenary, giving either partial or complete satisfaction for the temporal punishment of a particular sin. Indulgences require some work (praying a prayer or a rosary or, surprisingly enough, reading the Bible) but are not salvific. They can, however, be done on behalf of someone in purgatory to relieve them of some of the punishment they must endure.
The selling of indulgences, which was Luther’s chief problem, was banned by the church in his era, though Luther was absolutely right to condemn its abuses (which were admittedly huge and admitted even in Catholic circles).

Jason Huff grew up in northern Illinois and southeast Texas, where he studied poetry under R.S. Gwynn for many years. Thus, we see the likes of Don King and Elvis manipulated into ceramic oddities like pincushions and slightly erotic teapots. He’s battled both mental illness and substance abuse, and published work in The Texas Review, descant, and Iron Horse Literary Review, among others. He has a ton of family in the Appleton/Neenah area. And he loves cheese.
