Autorenporträt

Rich Waters is a career high school teacher and Ph.D. whose interests in school reform and teacher education led him to assist in the creation and co-coordination of a professional development school and later to become a founding member of the National Association of Professional Development Schools. His decades of work and recent research in a high school helped him to see the need to situate teacher induction, preparation and development in local schools, not on the campuses of higher education.
