Lorraine Monroe

Dr. Lorraine Monroe, Founder and Executive Director of the School Leadership Academy, was the founding principal of the renowned Frederick Douglass Academy in Central Harlem and is on extended leave from Bank Street College of Education where she taught graduate courses and founded and directed the Center for Minority Achievement.

Dr. Monroe translates her extensive experience in New York City public schools--as teacher, dean, assistant principal, principal and deputy Chancellor for Curriculum and Instruction--into the guiding set of Monroe Leadership Principles that define the work of the School Leadership Academy.

Dr. Monroe's groundbreaking work has been featured on 60 Minutes and in Tony Brown's Journal, The McCreary Report, Ebony, The New York Times, Reader's Digest, Parade, and most recently in the nationally acclaimed Fast Company magazine.

A national and international consultant, Dr. Monroe works through lecture, video presentations, hands-on activities, and large and small group discussions to share her powerful message about the role of leadership in creating effective schools.

Her book, Nothing's Impossible: Leadership Lessons from Inside and Outside the Classroom, was first published by Random House and has been translated into Swedish and Norwegian.
