I have been impressed by Richard Guerrette's breadth of reading and experience, the thoughtfulness he brings to his analyses, and the sensitivity to and appreciation of the human needs which undergird his own philosophy of education. He is adept at working with others, listens well, and seems to make people feel that they can and should share their ideas with him.
