Scholarly Publications & Learning Frameworks
At the intersection of cultural restoration, spiritual design, and educational innovation stands CADENCE 6™ —a living framework forged in practice, refined by scholarship, and rooted in justice. This publication page is not merely a repository of research; it is a window into the evolving scholarship of Rev. Dr. C. Lloyd Newton, whose work challenges conventional models of schooling by centering rhythm, relationship, and culturally anchored excellence. The CADENCE 6™ Learning Framework and 15:30 Harmony™ model offer not only an alternative to traditional education but a bold reimagining of what leadership, curriculum, and equity can look like when schools honor both legacy and liberation.
