As you scroll on down to the next three
articles on this blog, you will get a glimpse of the monthly academic journal,
Journal of the K-12 Revolution: Essays and Research from Minneapolis,
Minnesota, that I have produced, written, and published for select
subscribers over the course of the last three and one-half years, since July
2014.
This is the most serious academic journal in
advocacy for K-12 change that you will find anywhere in the United States. In these articles, readers become aware of
the nature of the curriculum and teacher training that we will have to have for
truly excellent education as imparted by the locally centralized school
district; they will also be able to read
in detail the programmatic elements of academic enrichment (tutoring, opportunities
for in-depth exploration of subject matter), family outreach, and bureaucratic
reduction that we will have to have in order to transform the Minneapolis
Public Schools into a model for the locally centralized school district.
Readers also learn a bevy of information pertinent
to the history of education in the United States, recent and current education
policy, and the grave flaws in teacher training programs.
Each edition of Journal of the K-12
Revolution: Essays and Research from
Minneapolis, Minnesota features five articles of considerable academic
heft. The journal has become a major
conduit of my program for the overhaul of K-12 education, joining my other
platforms as represented by my television show (MTN Channel 17, every Wednesday
at 6:00 PM), nearly complete books (Fundamentals
of an Excellent Liberal Arts Education;
Understanding the Minneapolis
Public Schools: Current Condition,
Future Prospect); this blog; and public appearances, including those at
the Public Comments portion of the monthly meeting of the Minneapolis Public
Schools Board of Education.
I do all of this in addition to providing
college preparatory instruction in a Tuesday evening program and a seven-day-a
week small-group program, especially focused on students and families of North
Minneapolis but covering a wide swath of territory throughout the Twin Cities
Metro.
Mine is the life of a 16-18 hour per day
revolutionary.

November, and December editions of Journal
of the K-12 Revolution: Essays and
Research from Minneapolis, Minnesota<.
