Joe Bishop discusses whole child education with education scholar Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond.

Early in Dr. Darling-Hammond’s career, she taught at “big urban factory model high schools” and found that schools themselves are not designed for students to be successful. This set her on a path to work with educators and policymakers to redesign schools that empower students.

What is the science of learning? What are the pathways to stronger academic learning? How are schools being redesigned? Find out on this episode of Our Children Can’t Wait.

Special Guest: Dr. Linda Darling Hammond is President and CEO of the Learning Policy Institute and Professor of Education, Emeritus, at Stanford University. Her work, which connects issues of education policy and practice, focuses on teaching quality, school and system design, and educational equity. Among her more than 600 publications is the award-winning book, The Flat World and Education: How America’s Commitment to Equity will Determine our Future.
