CSU Center for Educational Leadership Welcomes Dr. Dennis Shirley on Thursday, January 25 for Roslyn Z. Wolf Lecture in Urban Education

A scholar of educational change and charismatic presenter, Dr. Dennis Shirley of Boston College (Lynch School of Education and Human Development) has helped primary and secondary schools around the world to improve teaching and learning. 

Dr. Shirley's decades of research have focused on the frequency of conflict between the ideals of educators and the realities of power and politics. His third book (co-authored with Andy Hargreaves), The Age of Identity: Who Do Our Kids Think They Are... and How Do We Help Them Belong?, is described as "a call to action for educators and families alike."
