Educator to speak at Clinton School

Elliot Washor, co-founder of Big Picture Learning, will speak Tuesday at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service.

Washor has been involved in education for more than 35 years as a teacher, principal, administrator, video producer and writer. He has taught and is interested in all levels of school from kindergarten through college, in urban and rural settings, across all disciplines.

Washor's interests lie in how schools can connect with communities to understand tacit and disciplinary learning both in and outside of school.

At Thayer High School in Winchester, N.H., Washor's professional development programs won an Innovations in State and Local Government Award from the Ford Foundation and the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He has recently been selected as one of the Twelve Most Daring Educators in the World by the George Lucas Educational Foundation.

Seats for the 6 p.m. lecture in Sturgis Hall can be reserved by emailing [email protected] or calling (501) 683-5239.
