William Russell (b. Illinois 1945) is an American teacher, lecturer, editor and children’s book author. Russell obtained a bachelor’s degree from Ohio Wesleyan University and master’s and doctoral degrees in Education from Northern Illinois University. He has taught English at high school level and has been an editor for Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Inc. He works for the Family Learning Exchange, an organisation promoting "home activities that help parents develop all the attributes that competent, principled, lifelong learners possess" (source here, accessed: January 29, 2019.) The Family Learning Exchange website, although seemingly down as of writing, promotes the exchange of video and written home learning activities.
Russell’s profile on zoominfo states he "has been an advocate for family-centered, out-of-school learning for over 40 years, promoting the concept through his best-selling books and throughout his service as a teacher and administrator in both public and private schools." (source see here, accessed: January 29, 2019.) He also lectures and travels discussing language and the education of children. His page on Exodus Books talks about combating "the crises in education today" (source see here, accessed: January 29, 2019).
