Diving Into Harvard Education: Learn to Change the World (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004704763)

Just as Harvard University is a place "where world-class professors, innovative research, and a dynamic student community come together to advance education and foster change in the world", Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), founded in 1920, grants students and visiting scholars who are determined to "learn to change the world" valuable opportunities to meet great professors and participate in shaping meaningful research.

The book's twenty interviews are organized into five parts: Values and Goals, Development, Media, Student Life and Institutions, and Putting Learning into Practice--Engineering Education. While our team of interviewees consists largely of HGSE professors and administrators, it also includes world-renowned professors and deans from other Harvard schools, as well as an outstanding representative of global engineering education transformation. Each chapter consists of an interviewee profile, editors' note, the interview dialogue itself, references, and notes, so that our dear readers can experience the impact of the interviewees' ideas and reliably trace their sources. While each individual interview is an instructive snapshot of a specific area of educational research and practice, we hope that the collection as a whole will enlighten and inspire each of our readers to do their part to improve the world.
