“For 46 years, I have labored in the vineyards of public education. During those years I have worked at local, state and national levels in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Virginia, Delaware, Iowa, Florida, Minnesota and Wisconsin. I have been a teacher at every level of public schools, an elementary school principal, a director of human resources, an associate superintendent for instruction, a superintendent and an associate commissioner for finance and accountability. I have worked in cities and suburbs and rural areas. Many things have become clear to me over the years. I will apply these insights to strategies that are tailored to your individual situation and lead to meaningful change.”
