S8 Episode 17: 'Moving' and Social Mobility with Andy Hargreaves

You may know Andy Hargreaves for his educational research, but in his newest book, he pairs his personal educational insights with his own story.

In this week’s episode of 3Ps in a Pod, hosts Angelia and Donnie talk with Hargreaves about his new memoir, Moving, and the idea of social mobility that he highlights through the book. Social mobility refers to the chance and opportunity to move up in economic or social standing, Hargreaves explains. In this episode, he reflects on education’s role in creating social mobility.

Hargreaves also shares how, no matter how different our struggles may be from others, recognizing our own struggles can help us empathize and better support our students facing their own challenges.

Being an educator in the 21st century is indescribably complex. There’s a constant pressure to meet standards and help students achieve, but there’s also a need to allow learners to color outside the lines in an effort to prompt creativity. To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
