Theodore R. Sizer (1932-2009)
Thursday October 22, 2009
Dr. Theodore R. Sizer, a leader in the area of education reform, died on Wednesday, October 21, 2009. His obituary in the New York Times chronicles the life and work of this great person. We extend sympathies to Dr. Sizer's family as well as his extended family at Phillips Academy Andover where he was headmaster from 1972-81.
The progressive movement has lost a strong, articulate champion. If you knew Dr. Sizer, please share your experiences with us.

What an inspiration to educators and those they would teach! A great thinker and innovator has passed from our midst. May his large shoes be one day filled by one half as inspired as he.
