Paul Reville has a long history of educational leadership at the national, state and local levels. He is the former executive director of the Pew Forum on Standards-Based Reform, a Harvard-based national education policy "think tank" which convened the nation's leading researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers. As the president of the Rennie Center for Education Research and Policy, an independent policy and research organization, Paul is dedicated to the improvement of pre K-12 public education, especially in Massachusetts. He was recently named the Chairman of the Massachusetts Board of Education.
In Massachusetts, Paul has been promoting education reform for the past twenty years. He is currently the director of the Education Policy and Management Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He was the founding executive director of the Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education (MBAE), an organization that provided key conceptual and political leadership for the development and passage of the historic Education Reform Act of 1993. From 1991-95, he served on the Massachusetts State Board of Education where among other assignments, he chaired the Massachusetts Commission on Time and Learning. From 1996-2003, Paul, at the Governor's request, chaired the Massachusetts Education Reform Review Commission, the state body that provided research and oversight for the state's implementation of education reform in the Commonwealth.
He began his educational career in 1971 as a practitioner: first as a VISTA volunteer/youth worker, then as a teacher and, ultimately, principal in two urban, alternative high-schools. He is a graduate of Colorado College and holds a Master's degree from Stanford University. He is a board member, chair of the policy committee and a senior research adviser to the Public Education Network, a Washington DC based association of the nation's local education funds.
