Dr. Howard Fuller, of Marquette University, is coming to Las Vegas on March 19 to speak at NPRI's education summit. Dr. Fuller has an amazing background. He began his adult life as a community organizer and was even affiliated with the Black Panthers in the 1960s. Later in life he became involved in trying to improve the quality of education. He was made the Superintendent of the Milwaukee Public School District and later formed the Institute for the Transformation of Learning at Marquette University and the Black Alliance for Educational Options.
While he is a supporter of Barack Obama, he strong disagrees with President Obama's education policies. Dr. Fuller is a strong supporter of charter schools and vouchers. He believes parental choice must become an integral part of any education reform movement.
