About the Author
As a professor of education, I am, first and foremost, committed to developing outstanding K-12 teachers. That's because I believe that highly qualified and passionate educators are the best instruments to improve education in K-12 settings. I am a Chair and Associate Professor of Education at Langston University, and I spent seven years as a K-12 teacher -- an experience that gave me an intimate view of the challenges facing genuine education reform. With that experience behind me, I've focused the second stage of my career on researching topics related to education reform, the achievement gap, and teacher education. What I've found is that improving teacher education is an essential component in closing the achievement gap. My articles and op eds appear regularly in the Huffington Post, Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, Education Week, and Education World. I've also written numerous peer- reviewed articles, which have appeared in academic journals such as AASA Journal of Scholarship & Practice, International Journal of Progressive Education, Academic Leadership Journal, and others. In addition, I've authored and edited a number of books on school reform and school leadership. Please visit my website at www.drmattlynch.com for more information.
