The mission of Henry Johnson Charter School (HJCS) is to ensure that all scholars reach the highest levels of scholastic achievement in an environment that instills character, virtue, and “habits of mind” that ensure success both within and outside the classroom: diligence, courage, respect, self-reliance, duty, and responsibility.

I serve students by consulting with school management teams. In my most recent full time role as a school leader, I fostered the traditions, relationships, and practices that determined the school’s climate and culture. I was responsible for the overall management of the school in accordance with the board’s policies. Though much of the work was properly delegated, I had the ultimate and overall responsibility for board relations, curriculum and instruction, school culture, business affairs, recruitment and enrollment. My results speak for themselves. Recently, I have focused on the following activities with various clients:• Developed system of integrated SIS data and KPI’s for a logistical approach to education analytics• Supplied objective analysis of alignment between internal curriculum, assessments, and the NYSTP• Provided leadership training and workforce development• Presented management with visual aids centered on objective standards based data for team motivation
