With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of Professor Fred M. Newmann, the leading scholar and researcher of Authentic Intellectual Work. AIW Institute director Dr. M. Bruce King, Newmann’s colleague for over 25 years, explains…

“Fred’s research and professional development efforts have energized teachers’ collaborative work, and influenced instruction and assessment for improved learning and more equitable learning. Educators continue to apply AIW in classrooms across the country and internationally.”

Lots of people are rediscovering and re-sharing this post this morning, so I’m putting it again here.

Listen to @esglaude. Really take in his words.

The work we have ahead of us is deep, and transcends elections. It always has been. And we are called to do it.
