Leadership on Purpose DVD

Although the DVD is intended as a companion piece to the book, Leadership on Purpose, it tells a complete story on its own.

Listen to four principals, whose schools are included in the research sited in the book and are featured in the DVD. Hear about how they get their students to achieve and how they get their schools to have high API scores.

1. Michele Woods, principal of King Drew Medical Magnet, the highest performing California high school with more than 50% African American students in Los Angeles, California.

2. Cathleen McLane, principal of Kaiser Elementary (was K-8) a top scoring school with more than 50% African American students in Oakland.

3. Jacqueline Moore, principal Kelso Elementary (K-5) was the school with highest API score among schools with more than 50% Hispanic students, Inglewood, California.

4. Lorraine Fong, principal Bennett-Kew Elementary (K-5) a top school with more than 50% Hispanic students in Inglewood, visited by presidential candidate George Bush.
