Ed Johnson is a dedicated advocate for education in Atlanta Public Schools (APS), promoting a systems and humanistic approach. We connected through a local television interview where he discussed learning within APS. Over the years, we’ve collaborated on various educational issues. Recently, I received one of Ed’s daily emails, outlining his manifesto for transformative education in Atlanta.
