Read the true story that started Patti on this journey, her fictionalized account of the bureaucratic thinking, corruption, and power politics that are paralyzing our public education system:

Angel Park

While Angel Park takes place in an American town, the characters, the situations, and both the frustration and the transformation are universal.

“Thoughtful and thought-provoking, Angel Park is one of those seminal novels that are as entertaining as they are perceptive about human nature. Highly recommended for personal reading lists and community library collections.”
--Jim Cox, Midwest Book Review

When you join our campaign to promote a new vision for schools, you join people from all over the United States--teachers, parents, journalists, professors, policymakers--and readers from Turkey, England, New Zealand, Scotland and more who want to hear something NEW about changing schools. With the world racing forward at warp speed, the old models of education simply aren’t working anymore.

Without a doubt, the times require new ideas, and a fresh look at what we want the world to be:

What the people want is very simple--they want an America as good as its promise.”
--Barbara Jordan
