Joel Klein served as chancellor of the New York City Department of Education from 2002 to 2011, and is the author of Lessons of Hope: How to Fix Our Schools. He will share the revealing and provocative behind-the-scenes story of the dramatic campaign to turn around public education in New York City, as well as provide a blueprint for national education reform. His critics argued, “You’ll never fix education until you fix poverty.” Mr. Klein, on the other hand, believes: “We’ll never fix poverty until we fix education.” This is sure to be an enlightening and informative evening for anyone concerned with improving education in the United States.
