The Art of the Possible: Remembering Lee Shulman

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

The world of educational research lost a giant in this past year. Lee Shulman was a visionary in the field of education, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of the complexities of teaching and the importance of teachers as both intellectual leaders and compassionate guides. His landmark contributions to the study of pedagogical content knowledge continue to influence educators and researchers worldwide. He was also known as a beloved teacher and mentor. An eternal optimist, Lee was always focused on possibility—for students, for teachers, and for education.
We will gather at the annual meeting in Los Angeles to reflect on Lee’s contributions and to share stories, in true Shulman style. If Lee touched your life in any way, please feel free to join us.
