Part 2 of my interview with Colin Andrews.

• How Colin hires great teachers
• Colin doesn’t ask any interview questions, he just listens to his VPs ask all the questions.
• An online form for parents to fill out student’s absences.
• How Colin inspires people to be the best they can be and ensure students have global, authentic connections.
• Sister schools in China, Korea, Japan, mainland USA and Kodiak, AK.
• How he gets connections with other schools in the country.
• How he took the school from $800 in the bank when he started to $200K for materials and PD.
• Global connections so kids can think about how to talk to kids across the ocean.
• Goal to connect each class to two overseas classrooms.
• Picks books relevant to his locale’s native culture and other native cultures in the other schools and share them with the students.
• How Colin started connecting with the schools he partners with now (No mention of Twitter!)
• How to be a transformative principal: Open doors for other people. “Give it a Go”
• What keeps him going: his grandchildren.
