Michael Joseph Feuer
editMichael Feuer is Dean of the Graduate School of Education and Human Development and Professor of Education Policy at The George Washington University, and immediate past-president of the National Academy of Education. Before coming to GW in 2010, Feuer held positions at the National Research Council of the National Academies: he was the founding director of the Board on Testing and Assessment, founding director of the Center for Education, and executive director of the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education. Prior to joining the NRC in 1993, Feuer was a senior analyst and project director at the US Congress Office of Technology Assessment.
Background and Academic Career
editMichael Feuer grew up in New York, where he attended public schools in Jamaica (Queens): PS 131, Van Wyck Junior High, and Jamaica High School (class of 1969). At Jamaica, Feuer was active in student politics and also in theater. He received his BA in English (cum laude) from Queens College (CUNY) in 1973, an MA in public management from the Wharton School in 1977, and a PhD in public policy analysis from the University of Pennsylvania School of Public and Urban Policy in 1980. He was on the faculty at Drexel University from 1981-1986, and has taught courses in education policy, mathematics for economists, and research methods at Penn and Georgetown. At Queens College, Feuer edited one of the two student newspapers, and was campus stringer to the New York Times.
In addition to many edited volumes and reports that Feuer managed and wrote while at OTA and the National Academies, he has written two books, both published by Harvard Education Press: The Rising Price of Objectivity: Philanthropy, Government, and the Future of Education Research (2016), and Moderating the Debate: Rationality and the Promise of American Education (2006). His essays, commentaries, and poems have appeared in newspapers, blogs, and magazines in the US and abroad. Feuer consults regularly to educational institutions and government in the US, Israel, Europe, and the Middle East.
Feuer was elected to the NAEd presidency in 2013. He is also an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American Educational Research Association, co-chair of the Consortium for Applied Studies in Jewish Education (CASJE), and was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2014 as a member of the National Board for Education Sciences.
Feuer lives in Washington, DC, with his wife, Regine, a physician with board certification in obstetrics-gynecology and addiction medicine. The Feuers have two grown children.
