This is an event you should try to attend if you are in the DC area on September 23.

It is the Bammy awards, and it celebrates the contributions of educators, not corporate reformers.

Last year, Linda Darling-Hammond, John Merrow, and I received Bammies for “lifetime achievement.”

None of us is finished. We continue to fight for better days in American education.

Congratulations to Errol St. Clair Smith for initiating and hosting the Bammies.

Contact him for more information about them and about how to attend.
