About

Travis-Sinclair Camp is a certified NYC teacher and an experienced educational consultant. His goal is to assist educators, school leaders, and community organizations in proactively problem-solving on effective solutions to enhance early childhood literacy development and mental health education.


This contains Orton-Gillingham-based training and lessons that are ideal for students learning English, learning to read, students with dyslexia, or students who may have gaps in their core reading skills.

 

Travis-Sinclair Camp, as a consultant, provides workshops concentrating on how toxic stress and trauma can have a significant impact on children's development and learning.


Understanding the implications and nature of trauma can assist educators, administrators, and all child-serving professionals in learning how to mitigate the effects of adversity on traumatized children and help them recover and develop.


Travis-Sinclair Camp has been a licensed NYC educator for 13 years, serving as a classroom teacher grades 9-12 (South Bronx-District 7) and as Middle School Dean of Students (Lower Manhattan-District 2), and he is currently the High School Dean of Students in NYC.


Following a successful career teaching and mentoring students in low-income socioeconomic settings, Travis-Sinclair Camp is now advising schools and community-based groups on how today's students face higher stress and anxiety rates than any other generation.


In addition, Travis-Sinclair is currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Counseling and an Advanced Certificate in Mental Health Counseling at Alfred University Downstate, with an emphasis on Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, in which he relates the pathology of early self-esteem development in children (mental health) and the link to declining literacy rates in the classroom. 


Travis-Sinclair Camp is also a trained public speaker and a Toastmasters International Competent Communicator (CC). Thus, cooperating with your establishment will assist Travis-Sinclair in exemplifying an Aristotelian motto of his: "We are what we repeatedly do." Excellence, then, is a habit, not an act.”

What If Your School Policy Is Creating the Very Behavior You Want to Prevent?
When I first became a Dean of Students, I believed in the power of clear, consistent policies. The consequence ladder was straightforward on paper: a missed direction led to a warning, then a timeout, then a call home. Adults called this consistency. Students felt something very different. They felt trapped. A rough morning or a small mistake quickly escalated into punishment. The hopelessness was palpable before lunch. No one talked about trauma, but the bodies in the room knew the truth....

When Being Gifted While Black Feels More Dangerous Than Being Silent
Some Black children do not hide pain; they hide brilliance. This truth struck me deeply during my years as a teacher. I remember a student who finished his work before I could even complete the second example. He quickly saw patterns, asked sharp questions, and often seemed bored. Adults praised him when he was quiet, but the moment he challenged weak instruction or expressed frustration with a joke, his brilliance was labeled as attitude. That moment stayed with me: how fast a gift can...
