This book provides explicit strategies on how my team and I transformed the school.

Everything you will read in this book comes from my obsession with learning and doing anything I could to ensure that our youth have the opportunity to receive a high-quality education despite the chaos and adversity they faced in their daily lives.With the knowledge contained in these pages, coupled with a "By any means necessary" mindset, anyone can be the transformational leader they aspire to be.

Review documents I created and used to turnaround the school.2.

Understand how to create and implement a professional development plan that guarantees success.4.

All children deserve to experience a school where the culture is stronger than any social group outside its walls.

Between my determination to ensure student success and the fact that my team and I accomplished something as significant as the Shabazz turnaround, I felt it was important to share the things that worked, with any educator interested.
