Testimonial 4

“Sheila is wonderful to work with--and to know as a colleague and friend. Without ever forfeiting her cheerful, friendly, articulate and alert persona, she thinks deeply, organizes efficiently, analyzes carefulyl, imagines creatively and writes beautifully. What a spectacular combination! We've worked together over the years on so many things, co-authoring, bouncing ideas, trading constructive criticisms, around and across the K-12 universe. Sheila never lets go of solid principles and well-formulated views, but never do those inhibit her capacity to take in (and set forth) new ideas, think afresh about old problems, and imagine alternatives to institutions and practices that most people simply take for granted. Wow!”
