Fenwick W. English (born February 9, 1939, Los Angeles, California, United States) is an education professor.

[1] He served in that role into 2018 when he moved to Teacher's College, Ball State University to be a professor and department chair.

From his career start as a third grade teacher, English quickly moved up in the ranks of practicing educators and in school administrators.

His observations in the classroom and school became the groundwork for his first book Differentiated staffing: Giving teaching a chance to improve learning published in 1969.

In 2013, English would be one of the first professors of the Master of Arts in Educational Leadership at Soka University of America, Orange County, California.

[3] Being one of the pioneers of this MA Program, English described it as unique and said: "For a potential educational leader who wants to make a difference in the world Soka is the place where it happens.

In Washington, D.C. in the late 1970s, President Jimmy Carter's administration was moving for the creation of a cabinet-level Department of Education.

This theory became practice when in 1979 English was asked to conduct a "Curriculum Audit" of the Columbus, Ohio Public School District.

His academic responsibilities and status grew as he made strategic career shifts throughout the late 1980s and 1990s: English has written Leading Beautifully: Educational Leadership as Connoisseurship, Routledge, 2016 with Lisa Ehrich.

[6] With firm grounding in practical educational administration, academia, and publications, English is well positioned to criticize all of the accepted bodies of the Intelligencia, and challenge them to revisit their science and transform it.

[7] Fenwick W. English is also the creator and founder of the Curriculum Management Auditing process, first implemented in 1979 in the Columbus Public Schools, Ohio.

Over 300 curriculum audits have been conducted to date by CMSi through its affiliates, Phi Delta Kappa International and the Texas Association of School Administrators.

CMSi also offers over a dozen special training programs, engineered and created by Fen and/or his colleagues, designed to help educators work to close the achievement gaps between student groups.

The company is headquartered in Johnston, Iowa, and has six employees, and approximately 200 licensed auditors and service-providers who work as independent subcontractors.
