Judith Shulman
November 1-2, 2000

Judith (Judy) H. Shulman develops materials, research, and resources that improve teachers' capacity for instruction. As director of the Institute for Case Development and the National Board Support Network at WestEd, Shulman conducts professional development and technical assistance that not only facilitate quality teacher instruction, but enable teachers to learn and grow from their experience.

Currently, Shulman supports National Board Certification through the National Board Support Network at WestEd. She directs the only statewide network in California for candidate support providers — mentors for teachers in California and Nevada who are candidates for National Board Certification. Shulman also coordinates a website for participants in the network; conducts seminars for new support providers; and helps school districts, county offices, and university campuses on request. She is also presently developing a casebook on the challenges of mentoring National Board teachers.

Before joining WestEd, Shulman served as an instructor in the School of Education at Michigan State University and as an elementary school teacher. She received a BS in elementary education from Northwestern University and an MA in education from Michigan State University. To learn more about Judy and her current work, click here.
