WNorton Grubb is the David Pierpont Gardner Professor in Higher Education. He is also the faculty coordinator of the Principal Leadership Institute, a program to prepare principals for urban schools in the Bay Area (visit the web site.). His research spans the role of schooling in labor markets, reforms in high schools and community colleges, the effects of institutional practices on teaching quality, the interactions among education and training programs, community colleges, the flow of students into and through postsecondary education, and social policy toward children and youth. In addition to his research, he provides workshops for secondary and community college instructors and administrators, presenting different approaches to reform. He has also participated in a number of policy-oriented efforts, most recently the California Master Plan Commission, a National Research Council Committee on high school motivation, and a panel of experts for the case of Williams v. California. He recently completed a book on the economic roles of schooling, titled The Education Gospel: The Economic Power of Schooling.Other recent books include Honored But Invisible: An Inside Look at Teaching in Community Colleges(1999); Learning to Work: The Case for Reintegrating Education and Job Training(1996); and Working in the Middle: Strengthening Education and the Training for the Mid-Skilled Labor Force (1996). He edited Education Through Occupations in American High Schools (1995), a two-volume work on the integration of academic and vocational education. He is also the author of Broken Promises: How Americans Fail Their Children (with M. Lazerson, 1988), a theoretical and historical analysis of the public treatment of children and youth. W. Norton Grubb lives in Berkeley with his wife Rikki Grubb, an attorney and consultant.
