Milbrey McLaughlin, EdD, is the David Jacks Professor of Education and Public Policy, Emerita, at Stanford University and the founding director of the John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Communities. She also is codirector of the Center for Research on the Context of Teaching, an interdisciplinary research center engaged in analyses of how teaching and learning are shaped by teachers' organizational, institutional, and social-cultural contexts. McLaughlin has focused throughout her career on the various institutional contexts and policies that shape youth outcomes-schools and community-based institutions most particularly. The JGC embodies McLaughlin's interest in identifying and understanding the cross institutional issues that shape the settings within and through which youth move, and in advancing a "youth sector" stance to inform policy and practice. She is the author or coauthor of many books, articles, and chapters on education policy issues, contexts for teaching and learning, productive environments for youth, and community-based organizations. Her recent books include: Between Movement and Establishment: Organizations Advocating for Youth, Stanford University Press, 2009; Building School-based Teacher Learning Communities, Teachers College Press, 2006; School Districts and Instructional Renewal, Teachers College Press, 2002; and Communities of Practice and the Work of High School Teaching, University of Chicago Press, 2001.
