The Honorary Laureate Chapter was established
in February 1924 to honor men and women who had made outstanding
contributions to the development of professional education. John
Dewey was the first nominee. Since 1924, 293 eminent educators have
been named to Kappa Delta Pi’s Laureate Chapter. Albert Einstein,
Margaret Mead, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jean Piaget, and George Washington
Carver were all Laureates in earlier times.
We invite you to spend some time reading about the life and work of these excellent
educators. No matter when they served or what they taught, these fine educators
have made lasting differences in the profession that continue to benefit students
today. |
