Doni Glover Show: David Heiber, Author of Concentricity

American education isn’t broken—it’s working exactly as it was designed.

In Concentricity: A Blueprint for Student Support Services, Dr. David L. Heiber reveals how a century of bureaucracy—rooted in racialized control, compliance, and exclusion—continues to marginalize the very children schools claim to serve. Heiber dismantles the myth of a “broken system” and shows readers the truth: the system is producing predictable results because it was built to.

Grounded in the intellectual legacies of Molefi Kete Asante’s Afrocentricity and Na’im Akbar’s psychology of liberation, Heiber introduces The Concentricity Framework—a radical, student-centered model that rejects deficit thinking and redefines schools as engines of equity, healing, and freedom. Rather than adding another program or initiative, Concentricity becomes the operating system—transforming relationships, reshaping culture, and restructuring how adults understand their responsibility to young people. When schools adopt the Concentricity approach, they have documented higher academic performance, stronger engagement, and up to a 40% reduction in disciplinary referrals for Black boys—not because students changed, but because the system finally did.

“We must stop using data as a hammer to punish and start using it as a flashlight to reveal opportunity.”

Organized into six urgent and actionable parts, Concentricity moves readers from compliance to connection, from systems of control to systems of care, and from reform to liberation. This blueprint is not a theory—it is a call to action for every educator who knows that tinkering at the margins is no longer enough.

Concentricity is not the future of student support.

It is the breakthrough the present demands.

And it begins now.
