On Wednesday, February 24, 2010, the TBS Board of Trustees voted unanimously to appoint current Middle School Director Mitch Bostian to the position of interim Head of School, effective Monday, March 1.  They took this step to ensure the stability and direction of the school during the longer-than-anticipated absence, due to illness, of former Head Janet Stork.  Mitch brings to TBS long experience as a teacher and administrator, most recently at Mt. Tamalpais School in Mill Valley.  He is the founder of TEN (Teachers’ Education Network), an organization dedicated to translating brain-based educational research into teaching practice in cognitively diverse classrooms.  Mitch came to TBS first as a parent — his three daughters attend the school — but he joined the staff because his educational passions and principles are deeply aligned with our school’s direction. So while you won’t notice a dramatic shift in practice, you probably will notice a fresh and dynamic enthusiasm! The whole community joins the Board in welcoming Mitch to his new position.
