Thomas R. Guskey, PhD, is Professor Emeritus in the College of
Education at the University of Kentucky. A graduate of the
University of Chicago’s renowned Measurement, Evaluation, and
Statistical Analysis (MESA) program, he began his career in
education as a middle school teacher, served as an administrator in
the Chicago Public Schools, and was the first Director of the
Center for the Improvement of Teaching and Learning, a national
educational research center. He is the author/editor of
twenty-seven books and over three hundred articles published in
prominent research journals as well as Educational Leadership,
Kappan, and The School Administrator.
Dr. Guskey served on the Policy Research Team of the National

to develop the National Standards for Professional Development. He
was named a Fellow in the American Educational Research Association
and was awarded the Association’s prestigious Relating Research to
Practice Award. He was also awarded Learning Forward′s Outstanding
