GSEHD'S SPRING 2019 DISTINGUISHED LECTURES

Leadership Lessons: Pathways to Progress

Three-Part Series Featuring Dr. Carl Cohn

An Urban Superintendent Looks Back on a Leadership Journey that Spans 50 Years

In the fall of 1968, Carl Cohn left a Roman Catholic seminary, where he had been studying to become a priest, and started a career in public education leadership that has endured for half a century. In this remarkable lecture series, hosted by GW's Graduate School of Education and Human Development, Dr. Cohn will candidly discuss his journey from growing up in an impoverished, single-parent African-American household in the 1950’s to an award-winning local district superintendent, a Federal Court monitor and a state educational policy-maker and executive.

In addition to shedding a light on the people, policies and challenges that he encountered along the way, he will offer some concrete leadership lessons for all those who aspire to make a difference in the lives of historically underserved students.
