School Discipline Conference Keynote Speaker Baruti Kafele has proven himself a champion of lagging schools. To be successful with African Americans, Latinos and other urban students (particularly males), Principal Kafele believes educators must place their unwavering focus on closing the “Attitude Gap” rather than the “Achievement Gap.”
Watch Principal Kafele discuss the "Attitude Gap."
Principal Kafele’s success in closing the “Attitude Gap” at under-performing schools led him to develop a series of foundational affirmations entitled “50 I’s for Effective Teaching.”
