69 Educators Who Remind Me of Peter Drucker’s 1969 Learning and Teaching Quote

“Learning and teaching are going to be more deeply affected by the new availability of information than any other area of human life.” –– Peter Drucker, The Age of Discontinuity, 1969

When I recently included the above quote as one of my daily LinkedIn postings, I decided to quickly tag a number of people I’m connected with on the platform. It wasn’t a scientific decision, just an impressionistic grouping of people that reminded me of Peter Drucker’s teaching and learning quote from his lesser-known, but influential book The Age of Discontinuity.

For this post, I’ve significantly expanded the list of educators. It includes people I know from the Drucker world; plus some that I’ve worked with in my capacity as managing editor of Leader to Leader, and others who are teaching colleagues at The Catholic University of America. Some are people I’ve interacted with either at conferences or presentations. Some are former colleagues at USA TODAY. Not all people on this list are full-time faculty.

I hope you will check out the LinkedIn profiles I’ve included for each person, in order to learn more about their work, and their individual professional journeys. This is not meant to be an exhaustive, definitive list of future-oriented educators. Rather there is something intriguing about considering a group of otherwise-unrelated people as a whole, including how they relate to each other, what they have in common, what you can learn from them, and other impressionistic insights.
