    Newton H Miller

    Dr. Newton H. Miller II is a husband and father of seven productive young adults. He has earned a B.A. in Mathematics, minoring in Physics, a MEd in Education Leadership, an MBA in Marketing, and a PhD. In Education Administration. He has committed over 20 years of his life to the education arena by serving as a middle school and high school mathematics and science teacher, a principal of both middle and high schools in low performing urban school districts. He has written plans to establish and expand alternative learning settings for disruptive students, helped create and teach remedial math programs on the community college level, consulted in several alternative high schools across the country, and now serves as a professor of education, where he leads a team that builds teacher preparation programs focusing on preparing effective educators to serve all students, but particularly urban and at-risk learners.Dr. Miller's passion is to help others visualize and activate themselves to call forth their own potential to fulfill their purpose in life. Thus his mantra and ulterior motive is always to educate, motivate, and help them grow. After facing many challenges, roadblocks, and self-dug pitfalls which he had to conquer and overcome in his own life, Dr. Miller has dedicated his research and professional practices to finding what works in educating non-traditional and at risk populations.Dr. Miller has led teams that have revolutionized high poverty, low performing schools to reverse their pattern of failure by dismantling and rebuilding school culture, home - school - community relations, and the efficacy of educators and students individually and collectively. Throughout the years, he has been active in local ministries focusing on educating and empowering young people (young men in particular) by encouraging and supporting educational attainment, emphasizing vision, purpose, and self-esteem, and organizing rites of passage programming.One of Dr. Miller's foundational beliefs is that education is a mandate, not a request. Thus, he has done extensive work in online higher education to develop systems of online instructional delivery, which embed accommodations and differentiation for at risk and nontraditional learners without compromising the rigor of the course content. In particular, Dr. Miller has conducted research to inform educational institutions across the country of factors that lead to success of men of color in online educational programming. His research is currently being implemented in a major online University to rethink, and revamp the academic, advising, and support services models in order to better facilitate success of men of color, and by default other at risk populations, as well.Dr. Miller's favorite saying is... "Stay Anxious to Make a Difference!"
