Aggie Is Highly Sought after Education Speaker
John Hodge is making a name
for himself in the field of education. Currently the
director of the Urban Learning and Leadership Center
(ULLC) and former director of the Achievable Dream
Academy (ADA)- a Virginia inner city school, the proud
Aggie says he believes in team work and is dedicated
to the education of African American children all
over.
Hodge graduated N.C. A&T cum
laude in 1990 with a degree in English Education.
A native of Greensboro, Hodge is a highly sought after
motivational speaker and regarded as one of today's
top educational speakers in the U.S. It was Hodge's
dedication to Achievable Dream Academy and its partner
organization ULLC that landed his team on CBS's The
Early Show two years ago. The show highlighted ADA's
high performance and national awards, against the
odds. ADA is a 97% African-American, K-8 school located
in Newport News, Virginia. ULLC is in partnership
with ADA and shares the lessons with schools throughout
the United States. ULLC was endorsed by Virginia Governor
Mark Warner to provide training and support for urban
schools throughout the state in his PASS (Partnership
for Achieving Successful Schools) initiative.
