My motto is: "Creative teams engaged in challenging tasks produce excellent outcomes."
So, I'd like to remember the words of the Russian-American biochemist Stan Cohen to his Italian colleague Rita Levi Montalcini: "Rita, you and I are good, but together we are wonderful."

People who make the difference

    The end  of  the school year  induces insight into  educational excellence. Looking  back over years of  teaching I would  like  to pay tribute  to  two colleagues and  two  principals whom  I  have recently  worked with.
Antonio Moccia  - principal  at “Leonardo da Vinci” Middle School in  Avellino, Italy-  He  has  worked  hard  to  raise  the attainment of  my school this  year.  In everything  he has done he has  given off  messages of high  quality  education and innovation.  
Thank  you for  having  appreciated  my competences  and  having  tried  to retain me at your  school.

Alfonsina  Manganiello -principal at “Aurelio Covotta”  Primary and Middle School  in Ariano Irpino  (AV), Italy-   She  first introduced  me into planning, implementing, monitoing and evaluating school projects. I admire  her  firmness,   problem posing  and problem solving attitude  and her approaching  work with an entrepreneurial attitude. 
Thank you for your  guide. 

Eliana De Negri- Colleague  at  “Dante Alighieri”  Middle School in Avellino -  She is a self-starter, involved  in so many  different  educational initiatives  and research work.  She knows that innovation and facing challenges  are paramount  to quality teaching. What a pity there are so  few people in the school system who breed self-starters  and  so many  people who  chop down initiatives!!!!!
Thank you  for helping me understand  how important it is to set high goals  and strive to achieve them.

Carmela Di Gaeta -Colleague  at “Salvatore Aurigemma”  Primary and Middle School in Monteforte Irpino (AV), Italy. - Her unstinting effort in all kinds of  school experiences  has  provided support  for all her colleagues.  She  is a very responsible person  with energy  and follow  through.  She always makes the most of  herself.
 Thank you  for having provided me with motivation and encouragement.
