Jack Schwille is professor and assistant dean for international studies in education at MSU, who in 2013 will have had a 50‐year career in international research in education, starting as a doctoral student in 1963. Since 1972, after initial research on France and French education, one of his primary interests has been in cross‐ national studies of educational achievement, primarily in civic education and mathematics. Currently, he is co‐director of the 17‐nation TEDS‐M teacher education in mathematics study, the first international assessment of student learning in higher education based on national samples. He has also worked extensively on international development in education, primarily in Africa, with major projects first in Burundi, then Guinea and now Tanzania. At the same time, he has been a college administrator for over 25 years with responsibilities for developing an international dimension in research, teaching and outreach throughout the college.
