About

Partners in business and life Jacqueline Labate and Robert Mandatta are the force behind Galusha Hill Consulting.  Parents of eight adult children, they have been working, creating, and playing together since the late 1970s.

Jacqueline Labate: Much of my work involves strengthening math programs through long-range systemic initiatives. Of greatest interest to me is how children form conceptual understanding of mathematical ideas, and how educators can help students become powerful and confident problem solvers. Particularly as it relates to empowering the learner, my emphasis on problem solving as the heart and soul of an effective math program provides students with life-long skills that go far beyond the classroom.

Robert Mandatta: At the start of Galusha Hill Consulting I offered communication, leadership, and team-building workshops, primarily to public agencies and non-profits. When schools began to identify these areas for effective professional development, I joined Jacqueline in designing programs for school districts. A college instructor since 1980, my primary interest has been emotional readiness for learning. I now teach human development and psychology courses online, a medium I find fascinating because it can address both group and individual needs simultaneously.
