It is not the curriculum, money, books, equipment, nor the technology; rather it is the effectiveness of teachers that makes a difference in educating students.
Ed Cabil, the President and Executive Director of the New ADAGE Youth Development Program, has won more prestigious awards in education than perhaps any educator in the nation. The video will showcase that Ed was one of thirty-six teachers chosen from among 70,000 applicants throughout the nation for the Disney Award, and that Ed was one of eight educators chosen from amongst all the educator in California for the Region 8 Middle School Educator of the Year, an area that extends from Santa Barbara to San Diego.
Moreover, Ed has letters of commendation from the Mayor of Los Angeles and many others for his program effectiveness in reducing crime through his award-winning anti-gang and anti-drug program. Ed’s after school program with more than fifteen clubs and sixteen years of interscholastic sports involving all of the seventeen middle schools in South Central L.A. includes an award for the Mock Trial Teacher Sponsor of the Year, Los Angeles Mayor’s Apple Secondary Top Teacher Award, USC’s Consortium Committee Top Educator Award and the recognition of producing several top pro athletes.
