Welcome from the KDP Laureate Representative

“Welcome to the KDP Laureates' page! The Laureate Chapter was established nearly 100 years ago to honor men and women who have made outstanding contributions to the development of professional education. John Dewey was the first Laureate; Albert Einstein, Margaret Mead, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jean Piaget, and George Washington Carver also became Laureate members of KDP. Though more than 250 scholars comprise the Laureate Chapter, membership is limited to 60 living scholars. Learn more about the Laureates and their influence in the field of education by following the links on this page.”
