DR. LORRAINE MONROE
Dr. Lorraine Monroe, Founder of the Lorraine Monroe Leadership Institute, 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, Tony Brown’s Journal, The McCreary Report, in Ebony Magazine, The New
York Times, Reader’s Digest, Parade Magazine, and most recently in the nationally acclaimed Fast Company Magazine.
Dr. Monroe is a national and international consultant who 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. Nothing’s Impossible is now available in paperback through Harper Collins.
