Teaching Discernment: A Dinner Conversation on Education in the Age of AI

An Evening with Professor Fernando Reimers, Harvard Graduate School of Education

11 May @ 5:30 pm 8:00 pm

Join fellow Harvard alumni and guests for an intimate dinner and facilitated conversation with Professor Fernando Reimers — Ford Foundation Professor of International Education at Harvard University, director of the Global Education Innovation Initiative, and one of the world’s foremost thinkers on preparing the next generation for the 21st century.

We are living through a turning point in education. For generations, learning was built on the accumulation of knowledge. Today, with AI able to generate unlimited content in seconds, the question is no longer how much do you know — it is how do you know what to trust. Are our schools preparing children for the world that actually exists?

Professor Reimers will facilitate a discussion across three dinner tables, drawing on his decades of research in global education reform, 21st century competencies, and the future of learning — exploring what it means to teach discernment and intellectual resilience in an era of information overload, and why education policy deserves far more urgency in the public debate than it is currently receiving.

Limited to 30 guests. We welcome school leaders, educators, parents, and Harvard alumni who share a stake in getting education right for the next generation.

Priority will be given to Harvard alumni.
