Description
An account of the resource
<p><em><strong>"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."</strong></em></p>
<p>- Christopher Reeve (1952-2004) well known actor (Superman)<br /> <br />Although many public servants work in environments that challenge even the most optimistic, creative, and industrious personalities, they are most often highly motivated by a calling to contribute to improving the lives of their fellow citizens and by a compelling desire to address social problems. While some individuals, drawn to public service become promoted to positions of great responsibility such as the United States President and Supreme Court Justices, many, many more serve in relative anonymity. Some of these are quiet heroes and innovators who deserve to be recognized for their service to the public.</p>
In this collection we celebrate quiet heroes and innovators, some of whom have been memorialized with national monuments as in the case of Mary McLeod Bethune, an educator and activist who made significant contributions to the rights of African Americans, and was recognized with national awards for public service. The American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) along with the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) established the National Public Service Award to honor individual public servants who are deemed as formidable examples of public service based on their careers and accomplishment. Winners of this award are celebrated for their willingness to take risks to achieve change, for making a profound difference to improve public service, for achieving savings in government operations, developing a cadre of government leaders, and for contributing to the communities in which they live. Indeed, many of these can be regarded as quiet heroes and innovators in the public sector.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>2012 SLOAN Public Service Award Winner: Phil Weinberg (Principal, High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology, Department of Education)</p>
<p>Phil Weinberg is Principal of Brooklyn's High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology (HSTAT), a large, non-specialized school with a student body of 1,300 that mirrors the community it serves: half Hispanic, 20 percent African-American, 70 percent from low-income families. Described by a colleague as "the definition of educational leadership at its best," Weinberg has turned down dozens of offers of positions elsewhere.</p>
<p>Weinberg sees his main task as "creating the conditions that allow teachers to do their best work and create classes where students can grow." To ease the transition to high school, freshman and sophomores are divided into four groups of 150 students, with their own teachers, four "schools within a school." The majority of the school's 200 special education students are integrated via Collaborative Team Teaching (CTT). Each teaching team consists of two teachers—one certified in the subject area, the other in special education. As one teacher noted, "In these classes, we work together so that everyone is helping everyone else."</p>
Getting ready for college is the focus at HSTAT. The framework is established by a demanding academic curriculum that requires all students to carry a full load of the most rigorous courses they can handle. "If we determine you can take calculus, you take calculus," said Weinberg. Students begin to visit colleges as freshmen, their college essay is a major project in their junior year and all seniors turn in their college applications en masse to the schools' college counselors on a Friday late in November. Students traditionally attend school that day dressed in professional attire in celebration of this milestone. Said one senior, "No one can not go to college in this school."
