William H. Clune is Voss-Bascom Professor of Law Emeritus and a longtime researcher at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research (WCER), where he serves as the director of the Evaluation Resources Group (ERG). ERG members are located in and supported by WCER and conduct evaluations of educational programs at all grade levels (PK-12, university, graduate school, and beyond), including professional development of teachers and training of undergraduate and graduate students (in both teaching and research). Ending in 2008, Clune directed an evaluation of system-wide educational reform in four partner districts of SCALE (System-wide Change for All Learners and Educators, a five-year Math/Science Partnership funded by the National Science Foundation). Previous evaluations included the Science Masters Institute (professional development of teachers in the Madison school district), a synthesis of research on systemic reform, the effects of high school graduation requirements, and the implementation of school site autonomy. His research on educational policy and finance over many years has dealt with school finance, program implementation, cost-effectiveness in education, special education, public employee interest arbitration, and systemic educational policy.
