So far he has produced eleven books and more than 70 articles, often working collaboratively with other scholars. Among educators, he is perhaps best known for his research on the teacher's role, his studies of classroom interaction, his earlier work co-authored with Michael Dunkin, The Study of Teaching, and a book he recently published with David Berliner, The Manufactured Crisis: Myths, Fraud, and the Attack on America's Public Schools. His current research concerns the utilization of educational research knowledge, the evil effects of poverty and inadequate school funding within education, and educational reform. William Martin
