Deborah Woltag, MA, NCSP
Greetings! I am a 37-year veteran of working with kids, parents, teachers, administrators and systems as a school psychologist in rural western NY. A graduate of Wells College (BA, 1974) and Alfred University (MA, 1977), I was introduced to Dr. Glasser’s work (Schools Without Failure, Control Theory) as an undergraduate student, never realizing that the path I would take in pursuit of continuous improvement as a school psychologist would lead me to a BOCES sponsored workshop that turned out to be a WGI Basic Week training in 1990. The learning and mentorship I experienced with Al Katz, Peter Appel, Bob Sullo and Jeannette McDaniels through trainings and practicum to achieve Certification (1994, Ireland) has been at the core of my “operating system” for my professional and personal relationships and practices since. My life has been changed by Dr. Glasser’s ideas and practices as they evolved over the years. Now retired from active employment, I am eager to continue to learn through and serve our organization as the Northeast Region Chairperson.
