Albert Mamary (May 14, 1932 – February 23, 2011) was an American superintendent of schools, educational consultant, and author.
His activities included training educators in all 50 states as well as in other countries, including Italy, Spain, China, and Australia and co-authoring over two dozen successful textbooks in addition to writing books and articles on education.
In 1972, the year his model began to be implemented, Johnson City ranked “14th out of 14 schools in its county” and only 45-50 percent of its students in grades 1 through 8 scored at or above their grade level in math and reading.
By 1984, the number of students scoring at or above grade level in math and reading reached 80–90 percent.
