Consistent with the observation made for
those making the key decisions regarding the academic program of the
Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), staff members of the MPS Department of
Teaching and Learning also have flimsy academic credentials. Not a single staff member as of spring 2019
had even an undergraduate degree in a key subject area (mathematics, natural
science [biology, chemistry, physics]), history, social sciences, or English
(literature and English usage). There
have been a few changes in this department as new academic year 2019-2020
opens; however, having followed this
department for many years, I assert that current staff, which is substantially
the same as that for last academic year, features the same lack of rigorous
academic training.
Be reminded that a degree in teaching a subject
area, received in an education program, is not even close in associated rigor
with degrees earned from departments such as biology, mathematics, economics,
history, or English.
