MUST-SEE! Pasi Sahlberg on “The Inconvenient Truth about American Education”







Pasi Sahlberg spoke at Wellesley College in a public lecture on October 13. The video has just been released.
As you will see, his presentation is an interactive performance, not a traditional lecture. He uses video, music, and data easily and flawlessly. He makes us think. He educates us.
The full video is an hour and a half. It includes not only Pasi’s presentation, but introductions by Barbara Beatty, the historian of early childhood education and chair of Wellesley’s education department; Dr. Paula Johnson, the 14th president of the College; me, introducing Howard Gardner; and Howard Gardner introducing Pasi.
