When has a superintendent EVER answered her own phone? Isn't that what her secretary is supposed to do? If I tell you that Robert Shaps superintendent of the renown coastal district of New York - answers his own phone - as busy as he is and with a mind-boggling daily agenda that he keeps, it is going to give you your first inkling of what type of person and what type of administrator he is.
Robert Shaps is currently the superintendent of the Mamaronek Union Free Schools, New York. Some of the programs he has been championing during his 13-year tenure here have been: global citizenship, relevancy in the work force, leadership, authentic learning, multi-culturalism, inclusive bilingualism, and much more. His ideology is largely founded on the studies of Kim Marshall and Harvard Project Zero.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
