Glasser Quality Schools

In this episode, I interview Jan White, soon to be Dr. Jan White, an administrator at one of the Glasser Quality Schools, located in Norfolk, VA. She has been working there for the past 17 years, since the year it opened and she offers a unique perspective about what it means to become a Glasser Quality School, what it's like to work in one and the benefits that can be reaped when an administrator is willing to take a risk on training their staff to focus on creating quality, trusting relationships with the students. Magic can happen! To talk with Jan further, she is available by email at jwhite@stpcs.org
