He also reflects on a recent service trip to Guatemala, where he and several other members of the Brighton community spent time building schools for communities in need.

Go Crickets!! ________________________________________ FocusED Show Notes with Joe Sanfelippo Joe wrote his new book as a legacy piece. Listen to what he says about his kids and leaving something behind. His insight about leading from a position of isolation is powerful. Joe sees a lot of leaders asking the same questions, that often have answers, but that everyone is asking in their own bubbles. Joe recommends balance in your emotional state when making decisions. You have to hear what he says about the highs and lows of school leadership. Joe talked about better student ownership through adult learning. When adults like what they're learning, they're more likely to translate that for kids. When it comes to “resources,” Joe says that teachers and leaders should have a core group to go to for reflection and support. Don't miss what Joe says about amplifying your school's message.

Join Dr. Carlos as he delves into the tough theological questions and the answers from Christian Science with Don Ingwerson. As a Christian Scientist working as the Committee on Publication for Southern California, Don job is to advocate for Christian Science – not just legislatively – but also in public thought. And that's what my blogs have been doing – showing the link between the mental and the physical, and how important the spiritual is to the mental.I've been working as the Christian Science Committee on Publication for Southern California since 2006 and every year I find new opportunities to correct impositions on Christian Science (as directed by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science).Before working as the Committee, I worked in the public education sector, where I had an opportunity to work with a wide variety of people to ensure education goals were met. I was honored as the Superintendent of Schools in Louisville, Kentucky and later named National Superintendent of the Year for America – where I was honored by former President George H. W. Bush at the White House. My last educational appointment prior to becoming a full-time practitioner was Superintendent of the Los Angeles County Office of Education, an office serving 84 school districts.

Join Dr. Carlos as he explores what Christian Science is with Don Ingerwerson. Hi, I'm Don Ingwerson! I blog on the importance of the link between thought, spirituality, and health. You can find my articles in a number of outlets, including Southern California Spanish media. I serve the public through this blogging and previously served the public in the education sector where I was the Superintendent of Schools in Louisville, Kentucky and Los Angeles County Superintendent in California. I've been honored as the National Superintendent of the Year for America where I was able to meet former President George H. W. Bush in a ceremony at the White House. Another honor I received was from the Governor of Kentucky, who named a state day after me, for the improvements I made in education for Kentucky.Right now I am the media and legislative liaison for Christian Science in the Southern California region. I have also served as prison chaplain and while in the military I served as a Christian Science chaplain's assistant.
