E-SToPP is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating the school-to-prison pipeline throughout southeastern Florida’s most economically disadvantaged communities by building a grass-roots network of transformative schools and educational opportunities for underserved and unserved youth. E-SToPP’s “safe haven” model provides youth, who are involved in or at risk of being involved in suspension, expulsion, serious school failure, dropping out, and/or incarceration, with hope for a new life through holistic care, empowering education, sustainability, and social entrepreneurship. E-SToPP’s “safe haven” model empowers and prepares youth with sophisticated academic, vocational, social, health and wellness, and critical thinking tools and skills they need for successful high school graduation, college, work, and a healthy life as leaders in their community and society. E-SToPP ultimately provides open access, collaboration, and accountability through transformative research, education, and praxis for the purpose of transforming public school and juvenile justice education systems. By advancing education for distressed, underprivileged, and disenfranchised youth and their families and communities, E-SToPP helps mitigate community violence, deterioration, prejudice, discrimination, and juvenile delinquency in the long-term.Specialties: Transforming the School-to-Prison Pipeline, Reconceptualizing Exclusionary Classroom and School Discipline, Culturally Responsive Pedagogy, Transformative Teaching and Learning Cultures, Empowering Education, Transformative Teacher Education, Transformative Literacy
