Anthony S. Bryk, one of the nation's preeminent education researchers, became president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching this fall. In his first major policy address since taking the helm of the prestigious institution, Bryk will discuss his revolutionary new vision for research and development in American schooling, the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for his organization, and the lessons they hold for the future of school reform. He is known for his criticism of the paucity of rigorous education research and has argued for the need to embrace "a serious transformation in the ways we develop and support our teachers, the tools, materials, ideas, and evidence with which they work, and the organizational and institutional contexts in which all of this occurs." Bryk spells out his radical vision for educational R&D in his contribution to The Future of Educational Entrepreneurship (Harvard Education Press, September 2008), edited by Frederick M. Hess, director of education policy studies at AEI and editor of When Research Matters (Harvard Education Press, February 2008).
