The BANK of AMERICA FORUM Lecture Series
The BANK of AMERICA Forum was an invaluable tool for administrators,
faculty, staff, parents and community collaborators from across
school systems. The Bank of America Forum (formerly Fleet Forum)
connects 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
continues one important strand of the Boston-Harvard Leadership
Development Initiative (LDI), a multi-year professional development
and technical assistance collaboration of the Boston Public Schools
and the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
