Noted educator Dr. Steve Perry was on the Steve Harvey Morning Show today discussing his new book, “Push Has Come To Shove.”
In the book, Perry will spare no sacred cows in describing what steps need to be taken to ensure that all American schools, whether urban or suburban, deliver a first-rate education to our kids – the kind of schooling that will return the United States to the top of the global education rankings.
In 1998 Dr. Perry founded ConnCAP, the Connecticut Collegiate Awareness Program, at Capital Community College. For a period of six years, the program sent 100% of its low-income first-generation graduates to four-year colleges. Then in 2004 Capital Preparatory Magnet School was established in Hartford, Connecticut’s lowest performing district, and since its inception that school, too, has sent 100% of its graduates to four-year colleges!
Dr. Perry is a columnist for Essence magazine, a CNN contributor and the author of the bestselling self-published book “Man Up!”
