An Open Letter to the Next President by James P. Comer
We all need to go back to James P. Comer's Yale Child Study research in New Haven, Connecticut. He provided extraordinary leadership with his School Development Program Model. I hope that the next President pays attention to Dr. Comer and other advocates like the the Forum for Education and Democracy who want to reform schools into caring, higher-order thinking spaces where children are engaged to learn according to world-class standards while becoming critically engaged citizens. -Angela
