Ernest L. Boyer: Selected Speeches
1979-1995

At the time of his death, Ernest L. Boyer was President of The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. To honor his decade and a half of leadership there, the Foundation published, in 1997, a 142-page book (with additional references and bibliography) of a dozen Boyer speeches. Selected by Dr. Boyer and his wife in 1995, the speeches explore themes foundational to his thoughts on educational philosophy and practice.

The speeches are grouped into three categories: Schools; Colleges and Universities; Challenges and Connections. To order this paperback collection, please send a check for $15.00 (included postage and handling) payable to the Boyer Center.
