Education Book Club Discussion – The Death and Life of the Great American School System
Final in a series of three book club-format discussions with former Grawemeyer Award Education Recipients and the works for which they received recognition. Diane Ravitch, winner in 2010 for her book The Death and Life of the American School System: How Testing and Choice are Undermining Education, is the featured guest and will join the discussion via Skype. The book chronicles Ravitch’s decades-long journey from reform advocate to critic and encourages a return to school curriculums that value art, literature, creativity and problem solving. The discussion will be facilitated by Drs. Ann Larson and Dewey Hensley.
This event is free and open to the public.
