Robert Weintraub to receive sperber award |
|
The Robert I. Sperber Award for Administrative Leadership will be presented to Dr. Robert Weintraub, Headmaster at Brookline High School, at a reception on Sunday, May 4. This award honors an educator who evinces both excellence in administrative management and strong leadership skills that have brought about positive improvement in the school system. These are ideals that Dr. Sperber, who was Superintendent of Schools from 1964 to 1981, espoused and practiced.
Bob Weintraub has served as an administrator at Brookline High School for 19 years, 3 as Assistant Headmaster, one as Acting Headmaster, and 15 as Headmaster. According to colleagues, “he is an energetic leader who dreams big, who takes calculated risks, and who knows how to get things done in schools.” Under his leadership, Brookline High School has experienced "dramatic and positive changes which have bolstered its reputation as a flagship public high school.” Another colleague notes that the quality that makes Weintraub a powerful and effective leader "is his absolutely indefatigable spirit: he loves life, he loves kids, and indeed, he loves education because it’s the best way he knows to open doors to that life he loves.” The Brookline Education Foundation is proud to honor Bob Weintraub as the 2008 Sperber Award winner.
To receive an invitation to the reception to honor Dr. Weintraub, please contact Skye Kramer at 617-232-3846. Additional information about the Robert I. Sperber Award is available under Awards.
