Professor Linda Darling-Hammond, of Stanford University, will deliver FEHD's third Distinguished Visiting Professors Online lecture.
Professor Darling-Hammond’s talk, The Science of Learning and Development and Educator Preparation, discusses recent breakthroughs in the science of learning and development from a multidisciplinary perspective, and the implications they have for teaching and teacher education.
