My successes in dramatically enhancing the learning process in his inner-city (NYC) high school, expanding parental involvement, increasing post-secondary school attendance and significantly lowering the students’ dropout rate, has been documented in 25 books, 77 newspaper and magazine articles and five internationally released videos. The 15 strategies developed me and by the National Dropout Prevention Center at Clemson University have been recognized by the National Education Goals Panel and the United States Department of Education as “the most effective strategies to help solve our school dropout problem.”
The United States Department of Education, Fortune Magazine, Business Week, National Public Radio, Public Broadcasting System and the New York Times have recognized my work. I’ve received awards from the National Dropout Prevention Center, the International Association for Truancy and Dropout Prevention.
