Empowering Others Is Her Superpower by Laura Breen Galante
T his summer, Gotlib Jewish Academy (GJA) welcomed its new head of school – Dr. Brocha Baum-Margolese, an experienced educator whose goal is to build on the school’s already strong foundation. “My goal as a Head of School is to lead from behind,” says Brocha, “to allow experts to do what they do best, to empower our teachers to be the best teachers they can be, to empower directors to be the best directors they can be. I work hard to allow everyone to tap into and express their own talents.” Gotlib Jewish Academy (formerly Jewish Academy of Orlando) introduced Brocha to the community with the following social media post:
