Summary:

Educating is complex. It takes a long time to educate for powerful and significant changes in the growth of human experience. This book explains how educating works. V diagrams, K-12 and beyond, can be effectively used by teachers and students, parents and their children, administrators and their staffs, publishers and curriculum makers, researchers and evaluators. Important aspects of educating are organized coherently in the theory of educating. A computer-formatted program, developed and tested for more than eight years in the Exploring Minds Project, at Tennessee State University, simplifies the complexity while extending the range of possiblities electronically.
