Bruce Joyce received his bachelor's degree from Brown University. After service during the Korean conflict, he entered education, teaching in the state of Delaware and beginning his experience in urban school renewal while taking his doctorate at Wayne State University. While at the University of Chicago and Teachers College, Columbia University, he concentrated on research on teaching while directing the elementary teacher education programs, the laboratory school at Columbia, and school renewal efforts in Chicago and New York.

Emily Calhoun grew up and taught first grade and high school English in Georgia, taking her doctorate at the University of Georgia. A specialist in language arts and schoolwide action research, she has organized extensive school renewal projects in school districts throughout the United States. David Hopkins taught in Wales before moving to Canada where he studied school change while completing his doctorate at Simon Fraser University. He returned to the UK to work at Cambridge University where he and colleagues established IQEA, an organization that helps schools in the UK to engage in school renewal. He is currently Professor of Education at the University of Nottingham.
