This session from the most recent America’s Best Urban Schools Symposium features principals from four of the six schools featured in When Black Students Excel (Patrick Henry Preparatory School, Harlem, NY; Maplewood Richmond Heights High School, St. Louis, MO; O’Farrell Charter High School, San Diego, CA; and Concourse Village Elementary, Bronx, NY). These school leaders deliver powerful messages about what it takes to create schools in which all students (including all Black students) achieve remarkable academic results. The symposium session was facilitated by two of the books authors (Stanley Munro and Joseph Johnson).
established in 2005, NCUST strives to help urban school districts and their partners transform urban schools into places where all students achieve academic proficiency, evidence a love of learning, and graduate well prepared to succeed in post-secondary education, the workplace, and their communities.
