Johnson, Jr, Dean of Education and Executive Director of the National Center for Urban School Transformation and QUALCOMM Professor of Urban Education at San Diego State University for a revealing discussion on how leaders of 117 schools from 22 different states have influenced the development of many of the nation’s highest performing urban elementary, middle and high schools.
