Lee Shulman, professor emeritus of education, has been president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching since 1997. During the latter part of his career, he has worked on how to strengthen the role of teaching in higher education. These studies have emphasized the importance of "teaching as community property" and the central role of the "scholarship of teaching" in supporting changes in the culture of higher education.
Shulman earned his doctorate in educational psychology from the University of Chicago in 1963. He was on the faculty of Michigan State University from 1964 until he came to Stanford in 1982. Shulman is past president of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and the National Academy of Education. He received AERA's highest honor, the career award for Distinguished Contributions to Educational Research, and is recipient of the 1995 E. L. Thorndike Award for Distinguished Psychological Contributions to Education from the American Psychological Association.
