My readers know that this is the best blog in the United States on K-12 education.
I have now posted over 600 articles, each one of which is carefully written and exhaustively researched. I present my own ideas on the revolution needed in K-12 education in the context of the history of education in the United States, past and current government policy (national, state, local), and those ideas of both the education establishment and other advocates of change that stand in marked contrast to my own.
I have compiled and presented on this blog a bevy of information pertinent to student performance in the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS); the MPS leadership structure and department by staff composition; salary information for all employees at the Davis Center (MPS central offices, 1250 West Broadway); the academic credentials of those making key decisions on the academic program of the Minneapolis Public Schools; composition by district of the MPS Board of Education, with analyses of the positions and affiliations of members; an examination of the role and effectiveness of the associate superintendents and other highly paid personnel; summaries of important meetings at the Davis Center and throughout the district; detailed consideration of the academic program at the Minneapolis Public Schools; information on the Minneapolis Federations of Teachers (MFT), including platform for current salary negotiations; and a multiplicity of other information pertinent to MPS and K-12 education past and present.
All of this information and all manner of factual material has been poured into my substantially complete book, Understanding the Minneapolis Public Schools: Current Condition, Future Prospect, on course to take final form by this coming May 2018.
At no other blog site do you find this quality of research and commentary.
You will find this same quality in evidence on my television show, The K-12 Revolution with Dr. Gary Marvin Davison, which appears every Wednesday at 6:00 PM on public access Minneapolis Telecommunications Network (MTN) Channel 17. The program may be seen live on Minneapolis cable or live streaming at the MTN website.
On my show, I have in the course of time presented information of the kind given above. I have also conducted interviews with important personages and given viewers an opportunity to see me work with my students in the New Salem Educational Initiative. During this academic year of 2017-2018, I have given particular emphasis to commentary, most recently presenting the content of books by Amanda Ripley (The Smartest Kids in the World--- and How They Got That Way) and E. D. Hirsch (The Schools We Need--- and Why We Don’t Have Them), amid references to works by James Baldwin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Diane Ravitch, and many authors of classic and contemporary works of significance.
Just as this is the best blog in the United States pertinent to K-12 education, so is my television show the best in that medium for the examination of issues relevant to public education.
Please watch The K-12 Revolution with Dr. Gary Marvin Davison tonight and every Wednesday at 6:00 PM on Channel 17 in Minneapolis or live streaming at the Minneapolis Telecommunications Network.
Now please scroll on down this blog for the important immediately succeeding articles--- and, as you have time, proceed to the more than 600 highly substantive articles posted over the course of the last seven years.
