ABOUT PAUL TOUGH, 2013 LUNCHEON KEYNOTE SPEAKER:
Paul Tough challenges our culture’s belief that intelligence, endlessly measured by test scores, is the sole indicator of value in our education system. In “How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character,” he ushers in a tidal change in thinking and argues that non-cognitive skills – or, character – are better indicators of success. A contributing writer to the “New York Times Magazine,” he is also author of “Whatever It Takes: Geoffrey Canada's Quest to Change Harlem and America,” which focuses on the steps necessary to improve the lives and education of underserved children. Tough has contributed to “This American Life” and “The New Yorker,” where he has honed his focus on education, poverty, parenting and politics. For more information, visit his website: www.paultough.com.
Sponsorship is a vital part of the Building Community Luncheon. Sponsors underwrite the costs of the event, leveraging the gifts made by attendees that directly support our work. There are several sponsorship packages available, starting at $2,500. If you are interested in learning about sponsorship opportunities, please contact Megan Locatelli at the info below.
