The Most Influential Teacher You've Never Heard Of | David Stroud at ARC Australia

"A revolution in education."

At ARC Australia, David Stroud shared with us the fascinating story of Dr Thomas Arnold, whose work as the headmaster of Rugby School in the UK in the 1800s sparked a wave of reform that lifted the country's education system out of near-collapse.

Dr Arnold's innovative methods that sought to imbue students with both education and a sense of purpose were captured and proliferated throughout the education system through a network of senior leaders, and soon what started as one headteacher in one school became a 'revolution in education.'
