This inspirational presentation demonstrates the power of education and its ability to transform students. Brandon P. Fleming went from being a delinquent, drug-dealing dropout to becoming a nationally acclaimed author and Harvard educator. He uses this transformational story as a practical guide to equip educators with the practices and tools that he once used to completely reinvent himself, and that he now uses to take underprivileged youth and transform them into global academic champions and Ivy League scholars.
