Who We Are
Atlanta, Boston, and New York
Urban School Specialists was founded by Dr. Roger F. Harris and Dr. Cheryl Watson-Harris, who represent over 60 years of combined successful leadership in the pre-k-12 and higher education space. We have extensive experience in both traditional public and charter public school systems, and community based organizations in Boston, New York, and metro-Atlanta. As a consortium, USS associates include current and retired award-winning equity driven urban change agents.
Urban School Specialists recognizes the complexities, challenges, and opportunities, of leading in high poverty, underrepresented communities. We believe that all children are worthy of educational opportunities that will allow them to reach their potential and their preferred future. USS associates have demonstrated success in transforming school districts and youth agencies, accelerating student achievement, with an emphasis on equity, innovation, and preparation for successful citizenship in an ever-shrinking global community.
Urban School Specialists provides strategic assistance to central office school administrators, school leaders, business and community organizations with meeting and surpassing their strategic plan goals.
Urban School Specialists membership provides a host of activities for national and international educators to conference, share academic experiences and successful strategies. We believe that the issues in urban communities are global, making it a necessity to partner with educators and youth advocates across the globe to share best practices.
