Mary Fitzgerald is a master educator.  She has worked with school districts, educational service centers, and with business partners for many years making education better for many, many students.  In this conversation, she emphasizes the importance of presuming competence with students as we interact with them and around them.  In this first half of the conversation, she talks about a student who had been hitting peers who were interacting with her.  Presuming that she could participate in a conversation with her peers about this made a big difference.  She has many stories to illustrate such a difference it can make to remember that everyone should be treated with respect.  Have a listen and come back for the rest of the conversation next week.  Thank you!
