A lecture by
Chris Husbands

"How to perform miracles - Education and World Cities: Schools, Teaching and Achievement in London and New York"
London and New York are different in many ways - but they share some important educational characteristics: they are both hugely culturally diverse, highly unequal and with profound educational challenges.
Over the last decade the London Miracle has transformed schools in London. London schools now outperform England's schools generally. Are there lessons of the London Miracle for schools, teachers and learning in New York?
