After serving two years as a Director of Mathematics and Basic Skills in a regional secondary school district he became an elementary principal and later a superintendent.  Dr. Clayton retired from public education during the summer of 2005 to become a Professor of Education at Saint Peter\\u2019s University in Jersey City, New Jersey. He has published and edited several articles and he has presented workshops in many states and Canada.
