2025 ends with an inspirational journey to responsiveness from author, educator, and motivational speaker Dr. Al Johnson. We throw around the word transformative. Dr. Johnson's life story is truly, truly transformative and inspiring. Al was that student - a high school dropout from a single parent household. He could have easily become another "statistic." But he didn't! You will be filled with joy during this holiday season after you hear his incredible transformation. To top it all off, you will be motivated to go roller skating! There will be more commentary from Dr. Hollie on the importance of allowing our students to be their cultural and linguistic selves.
