Give it a Go with Colin Andrews Transformative Principal 041

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.
