“Digging Deep is a very personal memoir of a truly dedicated educational professional who worked tirelessly to provide an environment for teachers to flourish and feel appreciated. It is a revealing account of how one such leader was able to attain success through constant self-reflection and commitment to the mission of making the job all about the students. Here is the story of one man\u2019s journey to achieve the satisfaction of looking in the mirror and saying that he did his best and made a difference.”
\nJohn Ferrandino, Supervising Superintendent Division of High Schools, NYC Bd. of Education<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

“Steve teaches us what can be achieved using the power of collaborative practices in forming relationships and building community towards improving and transforming the lives of children and adolescents. Digging Deep should be required reading for anyone who aspires to be a school administrator.”
\nManuel Munoz, LCSW-R, Former Children\u2019s Aid Society Director of Community Schools Faculty Member, Lehman College Department of Social Work<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

“This book is an authentic representation of what it means to be a thoughtful, reflective educator. The author demonstrates how schools can impact the lives of students when they are invited to have a seat at the table. Digging Deep is a portrayal of how a team of dedicated professionals put kids first.”
\nEllen Scheinbach, Assistant Principal, Supervision English, Manhattan Center High School<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

“As a student of the author, as a graduate of the NYC Public Schools, and as a parent of a Manhattan Center graduate, I can say without reservation that Steve\u2019s influence on my family has brought about extraordinary generational achievements.”
\nConstance Evans, R.N.<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font>“This memoir is a must read for any educator seeking to overcome the challenges of helping kids to succeed. Steve\u2019s efforts to \u201csecure the village\u201d in a disadvantaged neighborhood by working harmoniously with law enforcement and community leaders makes for a highly compelling story of his career as a high school principal.”
