His latest project is a memoir capturing his experiences as an educator within a system preoccupied with everything except teaching kids to think.  We must begin to teach our children to think again.  There are many initiatives and fads out there, not the least of which is Critical Thinking, but none of them are strategic and philosophical.  They are instead how-to manuals for teachers and principals.  Our education system is in such crisis that we are beyond the latest gimmick or fad.  America itself is in trouble.

 

With research and anecdotes from his years in the classrooms of three different public high schools, he provides insight into American public education today, the attempts to reform it, and the forces that oppose that reform.  Kevin's memoir allows policy makers and parents into the classrooms, the administrators' offices, the faculty meetings, teachers' homes, and the teachers' lounge. 

 

Most importantly it is a book about thinking and how to get our young people to learn to be thoughtful again, to acquire knowledge not just habits and facts soon forgotten.  This book will empower parents and elected officials to move toward real change, while scaring the entrenched educrats out of the shadows and forcing them to account for our failed system.
