Meet Our Authors
Stenhouse authors write from experience. They are teachers, administrators, consultants, and university professors who have spent years working in the classroom and reflecting on the art of teaching. Through biographies, and audio and video interviews posted to this site, you can find out how our authors got their start in teaching and what inspires them as teachers and authors. You can also contact us to see about booking one of our authors for a visit to your school or district.
