If you have 60 minutes, watch this powerful speech from Diane Ravitch.
Twelve Things I Learned from Diane Ravitch
Diane Ravitch was introduced to us at the AACTE (American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education) Conference as a “champion of education.” Anyone who has read her articles, her books, or her blog knows that this is an understatement; Diane Ravitch is, in my opinion, one of the greatest champions of education because of her experience, her passion, and her brilliance. She is a fervent advocate and prolific writer. She is an engaging speaker and has a ravishing way of using data to prove the good, the bad, and the ugly of education. Although I have heard her speak on video, hearing her in real-life was more inspiring that I could have imagined. The theme of the conference was “Taking Charge of Change,” and here are twelve things I learned from her about how we can take charge and help make a change.
