ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Charles M. Reigeluth, PhD, is professor emeritus at Indiana University, Bloomington. He is a distinguished educational researcher and consultant who focuses on paradigm change in education, including the design of high-quality personalized competency-based education, the design of technology systems to support such education, and the process for transforming school systems to the learner-centered paradigm of education. When he was sixteen years old, he walked out of a classroom feeling disillusioned with his educational experience and decided to dedicate his life to making education more enjoyable and relevant to students’ lives. He taught high school science for three years, was a professor in the Instructional Systems Technology Department at Indiana University for twenty-five years, and was chairman of the department for three years. He facilitated a paradigm change effort in the Decatur Township Schools in Indianapolis for eleven years to advance knowledge about how to help school systems to transform. He has devoted forty years to advancing knowledge about both what a school system should be like to better meet students’ needs and interests and how to help school systems to transform to such a different paradigm of education. He is internationally known for his work on instructional methods and theories.

Charles has been a long-time member of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT), Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, Phi Delta Kappa, and the Aurora Institute. He received the Honored Alumnus award from Brigham Young University’s School of Education and the Distinguished Service award from AECT, where he founded the Division for Systemic Thinking and Change. He has published twelve books and almost two hundred journal articles and book chapters on those subjects, and six of his books received outstanding book of the year awards from AECT. He also received seven awards for outstanding journal article or book chapter from AERA, AECT, and International Society for Performance Improvement. His books include Reinventing Schools: It’s Time to Break the Mold (2013) and Instructional-Design Theories and Models, Volume IV: The Learner-Centered Paradigm of Education (2017). He has given keynote addresses to a variety of organizations around the world, including the National School Boards Association and the International Conference on Media in Education in Japan.

Charles received a bachelor’s degree in economics from Harvard University and a doctorate in instructional psychology from Brigham Young University.

Jennifer Karnopp is completing a PhD in education leadership and policy studies at Indiana University, Bloomington. Her dissertation examines the implementation of a districtwide change initiative in a rural context. Her experience as founding principal of a small, independent charter school in New Hampshire, which provided a personalized, competency-based learning experience to students in grades K–8, inspired Jennifer to earn her doctorate to better support other communities as well as policymakers in their efforts to engage in student-centered change. Igniting the curiosity of children through quality learning experiences has been the driving force behind Jennifer’s varied career in education. For over twenty years she has worked in a variety of traditional and nontraditional learning environments, from developing and providing educational programing through children’s museums, to being a classroom teacher in traditional public and charter school classrooms, to working as a special educator. She also developed curriculum and training experiences for early childhood educators across the country through a curriculum development and training company that she founded.

Jennifer is the coauthor of Reinventing Schools: It’s Time to Break the Mold (2013). She is also the author of three books designed to help early childhood educators create child-centered learning environments: Focus on Babies, Focus on Toddlers, and Family Child Care Basics.

Jennifer received a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in special education from Indiana University.
