Alex Beard

I started out as a teacher in London, before joining Teach For All, a growing network of organizations in sixty countries worldwide working to ensure that all children get an education that prepares them to shape a better future for themselves and all of us. I head the network's Global Learning Lab, which seeks to deepen global understanding of how to bring about systemic transformation in education. I've written about the future of education for the Guardian, Financial Times, and Wired. I presented The Learning Revolution, a three part series on the future of education for BBC Radio 4, and I'm the author of Natural Born Learners, a guide to transforming learning in the twenty-first century.
