About the State Coordinator
Dr. Maurice R. Berube is a perceptive educator who peers into the academic mirror and sees the reflected image of American public education. He sees its strengths and its flaws; he discerns its past and its influence on the present; and he anticipates future needs and advocates for those whom the education system might neglect. His firm faith in the power of education to uplift all who enter through the school door is an inspiration to those who may falter or become discouraged.
From teaching in the New York City public schools to being an Eminent Scholar of Educational Leadership and Counseling at Old Dominion University, Maurice Berube has contributed to our understanding of what it means to be an effective educator while he strives to improve the educational process. With the passion of the compassionate reformer, he has sought to bring enlightenment to the dark recesses of urban education. Through his numerous books and scholarly articles, he has added to our knowledge of the complexity of education and educational policy in Virginia.
