Linda Darling-Hammond, one of this country’s foremost authorities on education practice, joins us this month for our main interview. Dr. Hammond is Professor of Education at the Stanford University Graduate School of Education, and the author or editor of more than a dozen influential books and more than 300 articles on education policy and practice, including her most recent work, Getting Teacher Evaluation Right: What Really Matters for Effectiveness and Improvement.
For this interview, we reached out to notable leaders in the education field and asked them to pose their own questions to Professor Darling-Hammond on the topic of teacher evaluation and professional development. Participating are Gail Connelly, Executive Director of the National Association of Elementary School Principals; Dan Domenech, Executive Director of AASA, The School Superintendents Association; Stephanie Hirsh, Executive Director of Learning Forward; and Tracey Severns, Chief Academic Officer of the New Jersey Dept. of Education.
Lot of good common sense tips.
