April McKoy Robinson's path to success as Founder and Principal of the The Urban Assembly Gateway School for Technology is an unlikely one, considering the challenges she faced in a less than encouraging NYC public school system in the 80s, where she cut class in high school and graduated by sheer will. On today's episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, we get a major education from April on how to run an award-winning school, the meaning of stereotype threat, why it's important to let kids be kids and how she and her staff work tirelessly to find the bright and brilliant light in each and every student. PLUS: April gives a must-read list of books for every educator! Listen here: http://elaynefluker.com/podcast/april-mckoy
