I have been in three different seminars facilitated Dr. Hines over the past two years on subjects that are directly related to helping our teachers better educate African American Children. Here in the Twin Cities, we are faced with increasing dropout rate and an increasing achievement gap. Part of our issue is the ability for our schools to effectively engage our young African American students. This is where the work of Dr. Hines has come in. Dr. Hines has give many of our teachers TRUE strategies that can be used by the teacher the first day they are backing the classroom. Dr. Hines teaches effective methods to keep students on a track for success whop may have in the past been behavior problems.
It is my belief that part of the reason Dr. Hines methods are received so well is the manner in which he disseminates information the to the audience. Dr. Hines engages the teachers in the seminar in a manner that is exciting and creates an environment of learning which can be difficult in a large group setting.
