Dr. Antonia Rudenstine has been the principal
of Rudenstine & Associates since 1997. In this capacity, she
has been involved in a number of projects including coaching school
directors on a range of instructional issues; training school founders
to design mission-driven schools; supporting educational leaders
in the creation of improvement and accountability plans; and designing
professional development programs for organizational leaders and
their staffs.
Dr. Rudenstine began her career as a high school teacher of social
studies in Quincy, Massachusetts—a small, urban district where
she worked primarily with special education students and English
language learners. In the mid-1990’s, she moved to New York
City to become one of the founding teachers and administrators of
a small, alternative, public high school. More recently, she designed
and directed the Building Excellent Schools Fellowship program (the
flagship program at the national non-profit, Building Excellent
Schools).
Dr. Rudenstine holds a bachelor’s degree in political science
from Oberlin College, and a master’s (in Teaching and Curriculum)
and doctorate (in Educational Administration) from the Harvard Graduate
School of Education. Her doctoral dissertation, entitled Building
without Blueprints: Administrators’ Efforts to Learn about
Teaching and Learning, calls for exploring the challenges administrators face
when attempting to improve instruction within schools and across
districts.
As the Principal of Rudenstine & Associates, Dr. Antonia Rudenstine
works both independently and with a group of associates who maintain
their own consulting practices. When appropriate, we pool our resources
and expertise in order to offer a more comprehensive set of services
to our clients.
