What School Could Be: A Conversation About the Intersection of Innovation and Education with Author and Innovation Expert Ted Dintersmith

In September, the BHS Innovation Fund hosted a conversation with Author and Innovation Expert Ted Dintersmith to discuss his new book What School Could Be: Insights and Inspiration from Teachers Across America. What School Could Be is an inspiring account of teachers in ordinary circumstances doing extraordinary things, showing what leads to powerful learning in classrooms, and how to empower teachers to make it happen. Moderated by WBUR’s Meghna Chakrabarti, the thought-provoking conversation with Mr. Dintersmith delved into how teachers can change the education system in creative, compelling and practical ways to positively impact students and better prepare them to succeed in the innovation economy.

The event, which was free and open to the public, was held at Brookline High School on Thursday, September 20, 2018. At a reception following the speaker, the public was invited to meet faculty, student, and parent representatives from the BHS Innovation Fund to learn more about our twenty-year history with the Public Schools of Brookline.
