Linda Nathan talks about The Hardest Questions Aren’t on the Test: Lessons from an Innovative Urban School ($16.00). The Boston Arts Academy comprises a diverse student body, yet 94 percent of its graduates are accepted to college. Principal Linda Nathan doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but seeks to share her insights.
How and why does a school develop a shared vision of what it stands for? What makes a great teacher, and how can a principal help good teachers improve? Why must schools talk openly about race and achievement, and what happens when they do?
Award-winning educator Linda Nathan gives insights into the process of grappling with these questions, attempting to implement solutions, and evaluating the outcomes. Stories that are inspirational as well as heartbreaking reveal the missteps, failures, and successes.
Linda Nathan consults and speaks on educational issues internationally, and teaches a graduate course at Harvard University on building democratic schools. She is also the founder of Boston Arts Academy, where 95% of the socio-economically diverse student body continues on to college.
