John Brown is a clinical associate professor of education at The University of Massachusetts Lowell where he teaches more than 20 different courses in four different educator-prep programs.

Praise for this book
Brown takes us on a journey with which both veteran educators and new teachers will identify. Both confessional and filled with purpose, he reveals the places where our system is dysfunctional, as well as where and how to start mending it. Patrick Larkin Dean of Students Lexington High School
"The Use of Force" is a must read for educators. We are at a critical time in this field and arguably, the only way to move forward is through a radical re-thinking about the role of the educator. Brown's approach provides insight into what this future could - and should - look like. Dr. Danielle Ricci Principal Amesbury High School
John has been in the trenches of secondary and higher education for many years, and throughout this time he has held tight to a student-centered approach that emphasizes equal measures of caring, thought, reflection, humility, and action. The ideas shared in this book are relevant and important for any teacher who considers themselves a lifelong learner and an advocate for students. Bill Barrett Head of School Landmark School
