As always, I’ll do what you like, but I think that this clip is really strong as is. The way I structured it is to have it flow from leadership, to establishing human relationships, to the community garden, then closing with one of Carlos’ profundities. If we took one of the leadership lines out and moved it to the end, it’s going to sound repetitive. Plus the way the leadership section cuts together is really tight and complimentary. I mean, how often do you get kids who can discuss ideas so intelligently as these do about leadership?
The reason I might sound a wee bit defensive is that I feel like all of these cases have sometimes had too few voices and here we’ve got NINE people in a video that flows nicely from teacher to administrator to student and really nails, in my humble opinion, what’s going on at this wonderful school. I’d keep it as it is.
But will do whatever you like, I’ll just need some more specific thoughts.

Truthfully, I prefer that you don't do what I ask, especially if you think I've made a bone-headed suggestion! Thanks for speaking up!
Just for the record, I wasn't suggesting we omit any of the voices, only that we consider weaving the topics addressed throughout the clip. But, you have made some excellent points, and I think we can provide a boost to the leadership focus in the way we structure the text to frame the clip. So, I agree: let's leave the video as is and use the text to do the rest.
Thanks!
I think this is good - I like the development that Scott outlined. The first part of this video on leadership is very strong. In the middle it begins to drag a little. I would take out some or all of Joan talking in the middle of the video. It is a very long clip of her talking.
I would also rename to Marla's suggestions - "Nurturing Collaborative Leadership"
