Dr. Richard BILLINGSLEA

My name is Dr. Richard Billingslea Jr., I'm an educational leader and Executive Director of Rebuild Worldwide, specializing in cognitive skill development and systemic school improvement. I hold a Doctor of Education in Education Administration and Leadership from William Howard Taft University, with professional experience spanning program design, academic intervention, and district‑level leadership. My work focuses on addressing the root causes of underachievement by strengthening the cognitive foundations that drive learning—working memory, processing speed, attention, and executive function. I, Dr. Billingslea, am committed to advancing equity, improving instructional quality, and implementing evidence‑based solutions that produce measurable academic gains for students in underserved communities. My goals include launching scalable cognitive development initiatives, securing strategic funding partnerships, and transforming student outcomes across grades 4–12. I am deeply interested in neuroscience‑based learning, innovative educational models, and community‑centered approaches that expand opportunity for all learners.
