Alfie Kohn, celebrated author and lecturer, will join the New Tech community for the opening keynote address on Tuesday, July 19, 2011, at 8am.
Kohn has been described in Time magazine as
"perhaps the country's most outspoken critic of education's
fixation on grades [and] test scores." His criticisms of
competition and rewards have helped to shape the thinking of
educators -- as well as parents and managers -- across the
country and abroad. Kohn has been featured on hundreds of TV
and radio programs, including the "Today" show and two
appearances on "Oprah"; he has been
profiled in the
Washington Post and the Los
Angeles Times, while his work has been described and
debated in many other leading publications. (http://www.alfiekohn.org/bio.htm)
