When author David J. Bates left the active duty military at age
twenty-two in 1998, he had no idea what he was going to do with the
rest of his life. A fortuitous meeting on the interstate led him to
Dallas, Texas, where he was tasked to establish a Leadership Cadet
Corps at the middle-school level to boost student performance. In
Narrow It Down, Bates details the insight he gained during the
establishment and facilitating of that program using his experience
gained during his military service. Through the eyes of an
educator, this combination of educational guide and memoir
discusses the lessons he learned in this educational setting and
touches on specific priorities that enable educators to focus on
what's important in the classroom and in life. Bates shares ideas
that could create a better educational system-one that encourages
pro-active thinking to solve problems. Praise for Narrow It Down
"Narrow It Down is a book about making a difference in the things
you can control and focuses on raising the bar when it comes to the
educational system. ... Programs like Coach Bates' can
significantly help in keeping young North Texans-the future of our
great state and nation-in school, and I applaud him on his efforts
to build this program." -Congressman Pete Sessions
