Title: Improving the Principal Pipeline
Quote:
“Monica is really one of the national thought leaders on how we transform education to meet 21st century demands. She gave our members, state policy makers from diverse states, much to think about on how they could ensure school leaders can support transformation in a systemic way.  Her flexibility in her presentation—stepping up her role when another presenter on the panel had a last minute family emergency—was the key to the event’s success.” — Ace Parsi, Project Director, Deeper Learning, NASBE
