My BOOK

Working in an urban school setting can come with a unique set of challenges for instance, what would you do when a parent tries to chaperone the school field trip smelling like Marijuana? How do you calm an upset parent screaming obscenities in your main office and, how would you manage a student with a bed bug crawling on their shirt? All these answers and more can be found in, “Did You Bring A Bed Bug to School Today”; How to Cultivate an Emotionally Safe Environment for Students in Urban Communities. The Author, a 20 veteran employee from a Detroit public school, shares heartfelt stories, best practices, templates, and proven strategies that take you on an urban adventure that will make you laugh, cry, and feel empowered to deal with any inner-city school scenario. This book is both an entertaining read and a great professional development tool for anyone looking to make a difference in their non-profit organization, inner-city school, or urban community. If you are looking to turn an ordinary school or organization into a holistic culture whose focus is academics integrated with social development, family support, and cultural competence, then this book is a must-read for you!
