“The three guiding principles.I always get back to people, process, and product. It's the people. That's foundational. I think for any organization, especially schools. I want the right people and I don't want the same type of people. I want different types of people in there that all can work with kids in different ways, but I want people who have that practical life experience as well,who can also take the content.”
