Linda Nathan is a lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where she teaches courses on school design and school observation in times of crisis. She also is a professor at Cambridge College in Puerto Rico. As an experienced leader in education, Nathan actively mentors teachers and principals, and consults nationally and internationally on issues of educational reform, leadership, teaching with a commitment to racial justice and equity, and the critical role of arts and creativity in schools. Nathan’s widely praised book, The Hardest Questions Aren’t on the Test, about teaching and leadership in urban schools, was published in 2009 in both English and Spanish. Her second book, When Grit Isn’t Enough, was released by Beacon Press in October 2017. She recently edited an open access book with two of her graduate students, Designing Democratic Schools and Learning Environments: A Global Perspective, published by Palgrave Macmillan.
