School Testimonial

I am forever grateful to Ann Teaff for being such an integral and special part of my first year as head of school. She was there for me at every turn. Her keen ability to listen and observe during an early campus visit provided an important framework for our future conversations. Understanding the context in which I was leading allowed her to make sure I was celebrating my successes – something first-year heads need to be reminded of. She also came alongside me during the hardest of decisions. I was the beneficiary of so many helpful resources in our work together. Her willingness to connect me with experts in a number of areas allowed me to move more quickly through learning curves. Perhaps most of all I benefited greatly from Ann’s ability to ask the very best questions of me – and in the right order! A masterful coach and mentor, she helped me develop confidence in my own decisions. I still cherish our conversations and the wisdom I gained from her in our year together.

Just a note to say how valuable Brandon has been for us in our efforts to hire and support great teachers, particularly faculty of color. Brandon partnered with us in a recent hiring workshop for our division heads, department chairs, HR, and other school leaders. It was a resounding success! Brandon was flexible, insightful, easy to work with and genuine. He went above and beyond by interviewing six current faculty to provide us with meaningful, qualitative data to help guide strategy.
