"I believe that regardless of
background and surroundings,
all people are capable of
learning when presented with
teaching methodologies that
challenge their ability to learn.
It has been my life-long dream to
explore, discover and implement
various teaching methodologies
that will be inclusive and not
exclusive." - Ben Wright

What People Are Saying about Ben Wright's New Book:
Book Review: Yes We Can If We Choose
"Finally the educational reform and improvement movement as a well written and thorough blueprint for success. The prerequisites necessary for practitioners to engage in changes, which will be both significant and meaningful for pupils, are succinctly presented.
The paradigms used in the transformations at Thurgood Marshall and in Philadelphia, are excellent examples of the results which can be produced when change is approached from a sound philosophical base.
Books three and four of the text are an added bonus for the reader. Hopefully, this stand alone section of the text will help many educational practitioners in their own personal development. Knowledge alone will not suffice to produce the best educational product. Those wishing to produce exceptional students need to have beliefs and attitudes which will allow them to foster the changes so greatly needed in American education. Ben Wright obviously has these beliefs and attitudes and shares them in an extraordinary fashion.
This text is a must read for everyone desiring to assist every pupil in becoming the very best they can be."
