Andy Hargreaves is an internationally renowned expert on teaching and a proponent of teacher collaboration. He very kindly agreed to step in at the last moment when Linda Darling-Hammond, the originally scheduled speaker, fell ill and was unable to travel.

Andy Hargreaves is Thomas More Brennan Chair, Lynch School of Education, Boston College. He is a renowned scholar of international education, teaching, and education reform who consults with organizations and governments all over the world, Andy Hargreaves is author or editor of over 30 books. He will describe what teaching for life, not just for tests, skills, careers, or individual gain looks like in different communities internationally where teachers work together to fight for dignity, peace, and democracy, even in the most difficult circumstances. Drawing on examples from around the world, he will discuss how we can help teachers in the United States work together to teach for good in their communities.

Andy Hargreaves received the Grawemeyer Award in 2015 with his co-author Michael Fullan for their work on the transformative power of teacher collaboration.

We will miss Linda, but are so fortunate that Andy agreed to speak. It will be a great evening. It won’t be live-streamed, but the video will be posted on YouTube.
