Prof. Susan Engel: "How We Should Educate Today's Children"
"An Immodest Proposal:
How We Should Educate Today's Children" Susan Engel, Director of Program in Teaching and Senior Lecturer in Psychology
Susan Engel's research has focused on the emergence of narratives, children's autobiographical memory, imaginative processes in childhood, and the development of curiosity. Drawing on discoveries about human development made in the past 50 years, she will discuss
what's wrong with schools in this country, and how we can change them so that our children can become thoughtful, industrious, inventive, and civically minded adults.
Her work has appeared in chapters and articles for scientific publications, and she has also written for teachers and parents. She has published three books, and her fourth, Red Flags or Red Herrings, which is about predicting a child's future, will be published
by Simon and Schuster in 2011. In 2007/8 she published a series of columns in the New York Times describing how teachers solve problems, and in 2009/10 she published two op-ed pieces in the New York Times, one on teacher education, the other on curriculum.
She is the co-founder of an experimental school in New York State, where, for 14 years, she oversaw all aspects of educational practice, including developing curriculum
and supervising the teachers.
