In 1991, Dr. Lorraine Monroe founded the Frederick Douglass Academy, a public school in Harlem, in the belief that caring instructors, a disciplined but creative environment, and a refusal to accept mediocrity could transform the lives of inner-city kids. Her experiment was a huge success. Today the Academy is one of the finest schools in the country, sending graduates to Ivy League colleges and registering the third highest SAT scores in New York City. The key to its success: a unique leadership method Monroe calls the “Monroe Doctrine,” which she developed through decades as a teacher and principal in some of America’s toughest schools. In this book Monroe tells her own remarkable story and explains her “Doctrine” through pithy, memorable rules and observations and a host of wonderful true stories. This is an inspiring read for both new and experienced educatorsand for anyone who wants to succeed in the face of seemingly impossible odds.
