The new Middle School Principal this year, Mike Embrock, talks to us about his transition from a rural U.S. middle school to an American International school in Europe.

With Mr. Embrock, today we discuss: 

• All about bad dad jokes, liquorice, and Starburst…;
• Preparing for the trip overseas - opportunities and challenges for a Middle School principal;
• The value of authenticity in the leadership style;
• The process of empowering student learning through authentic teaching material;
• Differentiation in regards to the faculty;
• Where can you find Mr. Embrock?;
• Fostering a greater sense of community in a Community School;
• The combination lock symbolism;
• and... Making music with a 5-gallon bucket and two spoons.
