"Tillotson's work as an education-equality advocate took him all over the globe. He helped reform schools in Qatar, worked on educational equity issues in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and expanded translation services for students in Oakland. In his Great School Voices blog, he wrote, "I have been called the patron saint of lost causes, the guy who will help do things when others won't or think it's too risky.""
