NCATE works to make a difference in the quality of teaching and teacher preparation today, tomorrow, and for the next century. |
Arthur E. Wise, President
Arthur E. Wise
During his career, Art has worked toward teacher quality and professionalism,
school finance reform, and the advancement of educational research.
At NCATE, he has directed the design of performance-based accreditation,
a new approach, and led efforts to develop a system of quality assurance
for the teaching profession. He is co-author of A License to Teach,
which is a blueprint for the professionalization of teaching.
Art first came to national prominence as the author of Rich Schools, Poor
Schools: The Promise of Equal Educational Opportunity. That 1968 book
conceived the idea of the school finance reform lawsuit. Since then, at
least 18 state supreme courts have ordered the equalization of state school
finance systems.
His 1979 book, Legislated Learning, anticipated the current wave
of educational reform by calling for teacher professionalism and school-based
management. As director of the RAND Corporation's Center for the Study
of the Teaching Profession, he proposed education policies concerned with
teacher licensing, teacher evaluation, and teacher compensation. Many
of these proposals have been incorporated into state laws and regulations.
Long active in federal education policy, he proposed to Congress the creation
of the new National Institutes of Education; in 1995 Congress established
five new institutes. In the late 1970s, he helped to create the U.S. Department
of Education.
Art's previous positions include: associate director, National Institute
of Education, associate dean and associate professor of education at the
University of Chicago, and captain at the U.S. Military Academy, West
Point. He is a graduate of the Boston (Public) Latin School, Harvard College,
and received an MBA and a Ph.D. in education from the University of Chicago.
