~LETTER TO~

High School Principal:

Great day, it’s an honor to be able to communicate with you and your staff about our children.  As a doctoral student at Liberty University, former Marine, and one who grew up in the inner city, I have a visual blueprint of some of the academic, social and behavioral hardships you may encounter among students.  The Behavior 100 (B100) curriculum incorporates rich visual/graphic stories and vivid illustrations that speak to learners in a voice that is culturally relevant and relatable.  This striking fusion of art and literature places learners are on the edge of their seats as they experience stories that reflect issues and condition they themselves face.

Along the way, B100 encompasses issues such as drugs, early pregnancy, the prison system, illegal guns, violence and pointless killing. As learners delve into B100, they exercise and expand their ability to read, decode and draw deep meaning from literature. And just as importantly, learners walk away with answers on how to navigate tricky and/or volatile situations, honor others, teach others, and be an agent for positive transformation.
