Author Information

Native New Yorker, Bernard Cohen, was a nationally-known education researcher, author, and consultant to over 400 school districts and organizations such as National Geographic and Sesame Street after teaching and supervising at all levels of education. He taught graduate courses and seminars in Reading Instruction, ESL, Bilingual Education, and Student Testing at Rhode Island College, Columbia University, St. Thomas Acquinas and Georgian Court College. Mr. Cohen left public education to start and lead Bernard Cohen Research & Develoment, inc., a firm which evaluated school programs from Caribou, Maine to San Jose, California. With these data-based experiences, Cohen sold his business interests after 15 years and returned to public education in New York City to serve on a take-over team that successfully turned-around three districts and dozens of schools. He then served as NYC Director of Professional Development. From NYC, Cohen went to lead the then-failing upstate high school that serves as the venue for this book. After four successful years as principal, he was forced to battle his boss, the District Superintendent, because Cohen thought the superintendent was having an illicit relationship with a student. After winning the battle against his boss who landed in jail for over five years, Cohen retired from education and retiurned to his first passion, acting. Now known as Bern Cohen, the actor, the former-educator can be seen in over 40 films, including scenes with Sean Penn, Jesse Eisenberg and other super-stars. Most recently, he starred opposite Isaiah Washington and Viveca A. Fox in Doctor Bello, and with Henry Ian Cusick in Frank vs. God. for the latest info on Bern Cohen's acting career, visit imdb.com
