On the next MiWeek:

The MiWeek team is joined by Chastity Pratt-Dawsey of Bridge Magazine and Amber Arellano of The Education Trust - Midwest for an in-depth conversation on the findings and recommendations of Governor Snyder's 21st Century Education Commission. The Commission's recently released report concludes that Michigan children are falling behind, and the state's education system is in desperate need of reform.  The team and their special guests also take a closer look at accountability, the A-F grading scale, and closing the achievement gap. The show will also include an excerpt from an upcoming DPTV documentary, "Strength in Numbers: Closing Achievement Gaps Through Collaboration."
