Book Description
Making a Difference in Education! Losing My Mind over Education (Finding My Way Back to Me) is an incredible story about Dr. Denise Davis-Cotton's passion for preserving the essence of education as a dynamic leader, Founder, and First Principal of Detroit School of Arts. The book is a personal journey through a brittle American bureaucratic system--education. It is also a personal quest to make a difference in education. This book shows the discord between the preparation of Denise's educational journey along life's landscape, what she discovers, and what needs to happen to reignite the educational spirit.A Time for Definition! Losing My Mind over Education (Finding My Way Back to Me) challenges the reader to search for meaningful solutions to address the issues facing American education. The erosion of decades in changing educational policy prompted many educators to ask some fundamental questions: Where we are? Where are we going in education? Why is learning legislated? How do we relate to the patriarch of schools - the local district? This book is also a cautionary tale about contributing causes to the destruction of education--privatization, "bottom-line" mandates, and inexhaustible experimental models of educational reform.
