Even with the enactment of progressive legislation, Massachusetts' charter schools still disciplined students with exclusionary punishments for minor offenses more often than public schools during the 2014-2015 school year. Even more troubling, Boston charter schools suspended low-income students and students of color at higher rates than they did white students. Through an analysis of two Boston charter schools' codes of conduct and data on out-of-school suspensions at six Massachusetts charter schools, this small book shows that charter schools' exclusionary disciplinary practices disproportionately affect Black and Latino students (especially males). The book proposes effective strategies and alternatives to the charter schools' exclusionary policies.

Navigating the Path To Authorship can be challenging and the process has deterred many.  I wrote this guide, offer one on one coaching, & teach Path To Authorship workshops because I was once at the beginning of the same journey. For years, I had a story I wanted to write, but every time I started, I became overwhelmed and cast the dream aside.In 2012, that all changed, and I embarked on my writing, publishing, and promoting adventure. The road has been pot-holed and winding, but so rewarding.  As a multi-genre, traditionally & self-published author, speaker, & coach, I''ve navigated these literary waters and found both joy and fulfillment through not only writing, but helping my fellow writers on their journeys.Now I''d like to help you do the same. No matter what phase you''re in, this guide will help you understand the common practices of successful authors, establish a routine, learn the terminology, gather resources and information to help you decide your path, as well as help you prepare for promoting yourself and your work.
