Shango Blake on Clubhouse

Bio

Nationally known as the Hip Hop Principal, Dr. Shango A.Blake-CEO of TRU SK Consultants, LLC is a much sought after speaker about issues in urban education; from pioneering unique collaborations between students, teachers, parents, and the community towards creating and sustaining a vibrant academic atmosphere, to his successful tenure as a New York City Principal, he has proven to be a true renaissance educator.

As a Principal, Dr. Blake saw a profound need to institute drastic and creative changes to improve his school’s failing health. Dr. Blake initiated a bold and daring self-created project to integrate a conceptualized Hip-Hop based educational program. This program led to the creation of:

* A new curriculum model that included teacher development, parent involvement, and school/community collaboration.
* His school went from one of the lowest-performing schools in the district to number one in reading and math.
