In this episode of Innovations in Education, host David Adams from The Urban Assembly welcomes Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond, a renowned education expert and policy advocate and President and CEO of The Learning Institute. We explore Linda's key innovations in education, including redesigning schools for more supportive environments, improving teacher education, and addressing inequitable school funding systems. She shares insights from the science of learning and development, emphasizing the importance of creating safe, engaging, and personalized learning environments. We discuss the evolving purpose of public education in light of changing workforce needs and technological advancements like AI. Linda advocates for a shift from selecting and sorting students to developing each student's unique talents and capacities. We dive into the concept of community schools as a model for integrating supports and fostering civic engagement. The conversation concludes with a call to action for policymakers and educators to strive for equitable, high-quality education for all children, not just a select few.
