“I have known Joe for the last 8 years through his prior work with the Iowa Department of Education.  His ability to sort through often confusing federal legislation, statutes, and guidelines by taking them apart and making sense of them for public school officials in his state, as well as for me and our colleagues across the country, speaks to his significant skill set as well as his passion for kids….. I have had several occasions to take advantage of Joe’s expertise in statewide program development and evaluation over the years…. Joe’s temperament and good nature makes him highly sought after as a content expert, and as a mentor. “
