School “reform” is a loaded term that divides many teachers and parents - and pits many well-intentioned educators against one another.
Dr. Pedro Noguera is a leading national voice on education, education reform and the achievement gap. He’s a professor of education at NYU, author of City Schools and the American Dream: Reclaiming the Promise of Public Education, and co-founder of an effort called a “Broader, Bolder approach to Education." He’s also a former classroom teacher in Providence and Oakland.

Dr. Noguera is in Connecticut today to speak at a luncheon conversation for the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving...called “Who is responsible for children’s success.” It’s happening at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford...find out more at hfpg.org.
