[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What, specifically, was the impression that she made?  What are her goals?[/quote]

First off, it is undoubtedly preferable to allow Ms. Thomas to speak to the community directly which she indicated she'd be eager to do as part of the process of getting to know the Hearst community.   For now, I'd simply add that through the interview process the Hearst hiring team heard a number of things from Ms Thomas which indicated she would be a great fit given the values and traditions embedded at Hearst . For example and including but not limited too - cultivating a supportive social environment coupled with academic rigor, key tenets of the Responsive Classroom approach to behavior management, an empathy and understanding of the need to be flexible on how and when to foster parent engagement - particularly nuanced in a community like Hearst with lots of families with different backgrounds. And perhaps most important, initially at least, a desire to listen to all stakeholders about what they feel is working and what is not.
