"The Auburn Enlarged City School District Administrative Leadership Team brought back Andrew Marotta for a second year in a row. Last summer he brought his knowledge and enthusiasm on Surviving and Thriving as a Principal (administrator) and this summer great energy and tips on Surviving and Thriving with the Partnership with Parents and Guardians. Mr. Marotta tells great stories and gives practical tips for administrators. He also brings fun and laughter with his gifts, including Rocket Books and a day of coaching. I expressed my interest in the coaching and Mr. Marotta communicated with me quickly to begin planning our time together. I look forward to working with him to model his stories, strategies, and practical tips!"
