“I love the way Joe Mazza describes his role as principal as “Lead Learner” :-) Role modeling at its best”

“Can’t learn if not feeling socially comfortable, social curriculum is key so best academic learning can occur”

“Good advice, I like the idea of returning after being proven in another district. I have watched it work out really well and not so well, so I continue to be torn.”
