Welcome to the Politics of Education Reform

Thank you for visiting my little corner of the blogosphere. I am a Democratic political consultant who specializes in local races. Over the last several years, I have seen the politics of education reform play out in a number of local races in Illinois and Wisconsin. Over the next few years, how education reformers do in local political races will determine how successful current reforms are implemented and new reforms conceived and incubated. I feel privileged to have this vantage point from which to view this movement.

As an unabashed supporter of education reform, I hope to discuss my experiences and share observations about how to improve the schools for every student in America, but especially those children from disadvantaged communities who suffer from poverty and all of its pernicious incarnations, including poor-performing schools.

There is a renewed civil rights movement in our country to finally make real our national creed of equal opportunity for everyone by making all schools high-performing and world class.
