Episode Description

Dr. Rob Wottawa sits with newly retired elementary principal, literacy monster, and positive culture building friend Ellen O'Neill. We unpacked the transition to mentorship, the real world problems that a principal faces each day and how to address classroom managements as the level of influence. Of course we learn whether Ellen would rather mentor a principal who forgot it was picture day or one who accidentially called a kid "mom"?
