BPS Leadership Development Network
This network of leadership teams from several Boston Public Schools
continues to build on the work of the Boston-Harvard Leadership Development
Initiative (LDI), a larger multi year collaboration of HGSE and
BPS that was funded for five years beginning in 1997 by FleetBoston Financial.
When the LDI ended most of its programs, four of the schools requested
to continue to network and come to Harvard for a series of professional
development sessions facilitated by faculty from HGSE and other
education experts. The group has now grown to six schools and meets several times a year. Workshops focus on organizational change,
adult development, curriculum and instruction, and other research topics relevant to the priorities of the schools and the BPS district. All sessions are held 8:30 to 12:30 in the Eliot Lyman Room, second floor, Longfellow Hall on Appian Way at HGSE in Cambridge. Please call 617-496-4822 for more information on registering to attend these sessions.

Note: Previous work of the Boston-Harvard Leadership Development Initiative (LDI) included ongoing professional development sessions and the Forum Lecture Series. Links to archived information can be found at the bottom of this page.
• The BANK of AMERICA Forum Lecture Series
The BANK of AMERICA Forum Lecture 2005, formerly Fleet Forum, was an invaluable
tool for administrators, faculty, staff, parents and community collaborators
from across school systems. These lectures connected the broader Boston
community to Harvard's resources. The Forum seeks to provide a platform
for the BPS to address some of the major issues involved in comprehensive
school reform. The Forum continued one important strand of the Boston-Harvard
Leadership Development Initiative (LDI), a 6 year professional development
and technical assistance collaboration of the Boston Public Schools
and the Harvard Graduate School of Education which was also funded
by FleetBoston Financial Foundation, now Bank of America. Past forum
topics have covered such issues as Closing the Achievement Gap,
Accountability and Instructional Improvement, and How to Create
Conditions in Schools that Foster Student Achievement. Past presenters
have included the Harvard Graduate School of Education Professors
Catherine Snow, Susan Moore Johnson, Richard Elmore and Pedro Noguera,
and other nationally known experts such as Ellin Keene, Ernesto
Cortes, Jr. and Uri Treisman.
