As portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer in the movie Dangerous Minds, LouAnne Johnson s stint as an honored Marine Corps Officer and US Navy journalist seemed easy in comparison to being a public school teacher. Wrestling with a class of challenging adolescents faced with their last chance at school, she helped them turn their lives around by bringing out the inherent value in each of them, honoring their spirit, and nurturing their newfound self-confidence. Johnson s style is to encourage students, rather than condemn them, persuade rather than threaten, and earn respect, rather than demand it. Her constant support and unorthodox teaching strategies instituted a phenomenal success rate in her students with a first place ranking in higher grade point averages, increased self-esteem, academic achievement, and class retention.

"Right from the beginning I worked on a single principle. These students would never know they couldn t be successful I would inspire them to believe they could win. - Salome Thomas-El It takes a remarkable human being to dedicate his life to those nobody else believes in. Salome Thomas-El is such a man, driven by a larger purpose, who became a true hero to hundreds of troubled students in Philadelphia.

Armed with only a fierce commitment to students nobody else believed in, he transformed their lives and gave them hope. In a stroke of creative genius, he revived the long-dormant chess team to unite his students, leading them to victory at the national championships. His dedication gave them the personal strength to go on and attend magnet high schools, major colleges, and universities. Thomas-El tells his inspirational story in the highly praised, I Choose to Stay: A Black Teacher Refuses to Desert the Inner City. But, it was the long-ago death of a promising student that moved him to continue his mission and write The Immortality of Influence, a refreshing, commonsense roadmap to help kids on the fringes achieve their dreams. A compelling speaker, Thomas-El shares that with promise and determination, any student can be inspired to succeed. Distributed by Tubemogul.
