Dr. Michael Apple

Dr. Apple is a man who educates. He has written more than 8 books in which some have been translated to over 12 different languages. He is the professor of Curriculum and Instruction and Policy Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Education and is also a World Scholar at the London Institute. This makes him an educator of educators as he goes around North American educating on the importance of education itself. He has also worked internationally, from his home country America to the East Asian Country of South Korea and as far as Brazil. He has helped work on such projects with teachers such as the teacher’s union which did not exist in those countries at the time. His work also involves Schooling and the rights of children, globalizing education, and education ideology of knowledge. His work explores class routines and school board policy.
If this isn’t enough to be an educator of educators, Dr. Apple also has firsthand experience as a teacher in both elementary and secondary schools. He first started his career as a supply teacher at the age of 18. His ability to speak some Spanish gave him that opportunity and would later be useful to him when he went to work in Central and South America.
Dr. Michael Apple focussed much of his speech on the education of Aboriginals and African Americans. Although we may not like it we can predict using statistics he told the audience. He believes that these groups of people need to be treated with the same education as others who have a right to an education and should not be discriminated from earning an education. Dr. Apple has focussed much of his life devoting it mostly to those around the world that are involved in education and the education system.
