Heinrich Mintrop was a teacher in both the United States and Germany before he entered into his academic career. He received an MA in Political Science and German Literature at the Freie Universität Berlin (1978) and a Ph.D. in Education from Stanford University (1996). As a researcher, he explores how educational policies form institutional structures that in turn shape teaching and learning in schools. He is particularly interested in the tension between student achievement and citizenship, accountability and democratization. He examined these relationships, first, in East German schools that underwent fundamental changes after the collapse of socialism. A number of articles and a book Educational Change and Social Transformation (Falmer 1996), published with Hans Weiler and Elisabeth Fuhrmann, resulted from this work. He co-authored (with Bruno Losito, CEDE, Italy) The Teaching of Civic Education, a chapter in the IEA Report on Civic Education that looks at the conditions of Civic Education teaching in 28 countries.In recent years, Dr. Mintrop has turned to the issue of school accountability, particularly in low performing schools. This work has recently resulted in the book Schools on Probation: How Accountability Works (and Doesn't Work) , at Teachers College Press. He has been awarded a Carnegie Corporation scholarship to study school accountability systems comparatively in the United States and Germany. At UC Berkeley, he is, among other things, involved in the Doctoral Program for Policy and Organization and the Principal Leadership Institute that aims to prepare strong leaders for high-need urban schools.
