About
As an Assistant Principal for the Chicago Public Schools, I lead the development, implementation, and evaluation of our Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework, ensuring a cohesive approach to academic and behavioral interventions that meet the diverse needs of all students. I also oversee student life on both the freshman and general campuses, ensuring a safe, inclusive, and productive environment for all students.
Current Work
My scholarship, notably through my project titled "De-Leaded," delves into the exploration of leadership diversity within educational settings, with a particular focus on the representation and advancement of Black male educators in urban school systems. At its core, "De-Leaded" seeks to understand why, despite the increasing diversity of student populations, the leadership in schools doesn't adequately reflect this diversity, especially in terms of Black male leaders. De-Leaded uses a mix of research methods to examine the systemic barriers that contribute to this underrepresentation. It looks into how societal perceptions, institutional policies, and specific practices within the hiring and promotion processes in schools and educational systems either hinder or help the advancement of Black male educators into leadership roles.
