Chief Executive Officer

J T Clemons is an educator,consultant,behavior specialist, motivational speaker, and CEO of Clemtec Incorporate. He is a recognized master of classroom strategies and behavior management. He has addressed discipline and educational issues across the globe.

As a student at North Carolina Central University, he tutored and mentored middle and high school students who were undisciplined, ill prepared, reluctant learners, and under exposed in education. Faced with this reality, he devised ways to change the outlook and education of poorly taught students,regardless of economic status.

After receiving his BA and MA degrees, he wanted to advance his knowledge and insight in education and ethnic studies. He went to Africa to study, in pursuit of a Ph.D. His post graduate studies and innovative ideas convinced some educators and institutions to try new strategies and methods for educating under exposed students. His message to students was, "What ever your circumstance, you don't have to accept the condition. Change your situation." "As long as you can blame some one else for your circumstances, you are crippled by your excuse, and your excuse becomes your limitations".

As a teacher, he fought to stop students from falling through the cracks of education. As Dean of Students,He developed sound alternative educational practices that improved behavior and reduced student suspensions in public schools. His innovations resulted in uninterrupted education, better discipline management, and changes in behavior.

For schools with increasing suspensions Professor "C" told administrators, putting students "out of school as a solution to behavior did not solve discipline problems."Using suspensions to solve behavior problems, when more effective solutions were possible was counter productive. He believed petty removal from school, unjust suspensions, and expulsions were viewed as holidays, days off, and vacations days to some students. Unnecessary suspensions,denial of education, and abuse of suspension's intended use only produce negative outcomes. He turned disruptive behavior into strict, intensive, in school education with strategies skill, and educational discipline. He convinced several educators and school boards that unnecessary suspensions,poor discipline strategies, and lack of innovations contribute to more drop-outs, criminal behavior, financial limitations, and increased incarceration".

As college professor and mentor, he told present and prospective teachers, "effective teaching is not about a title, but the job you do". "A title does not make you a good teacher, and a degree does not make you an expert; but imparting knowledge, skill, and wisdom in educating and changing the behavior and outlook of those you teach makes you a good educator."

As CEO, he is determined, "to keep students in school, off the streets, out of trouble, out of jail, and to graduate. In light of various school shootings he has addressed the issue of student mental health. He strongly advised all who would listen not to confuse bad behavior with mental health. Mental health, he said is an illness. Bad behavior is a deliberate aggressive act and attitude of unwanted actions.
