Dr. David Hargreaves, renowned educator and author on school reform, will speak at the College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE), 2 Convent Road, Morristown, N.J., on Monday, July 12, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Annunciation Center on campus. He will address the topic, “Is School Transformation Necessary and Imminent?” The event, sponsored by the Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership at CSE, is free and open to the public.Dr. Hargreaves, known for his work on transforming schools for the 21st century, believes schools cannot be simply modified to meet the needs of today’s students, but must be transformed. The current structures, he writes, are rooted in the industrial age and are no longer appropriate for students who live and work in the information/digital age. D
Dr. Hargreaves is the associate director for development and research, Specialist Schools and Academies Trust and fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge University, England. He has been a teacher serving for many years in teacher education, including as a reader in education at the University of Oxford and professor of education at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of many books, including Social Relations in a Secondary School; Interpersonal Relations and Education; and, Deviance in Classrooms.
Previous speakers for the doctoral program summer lectures have included Dr. Margaret Wheatley and Dr. Kent Keith, both supporters of servant leadership and well-known authors on the topic. The three-year doctoral program in educational leadership began at CSE in August 2007. A new cohort or learning group for the program begins this July.
