Presentation Abstract
It is vital for us in the education profession to develop leaders. It is my belief that we have to prepare our young people for the challenges and demands they will inevitably face in today’s society. Our students must be equipped with the knowledge and character needed to run Fortune 500 companies, teach the future generation of scholars, and lead this nation back to its worldwide power. In order for that to happen, they need great models. Our youth have to have the best teachers that we can offer. Based upon my experience, I can assist with the selection and development of great teachers. I believe that it takes a unique individual to take on the responsibility of changing the world. If you think you can "pull the wool” over the eyes of today’s youth by just lecturing and not providing challenging, engaging, and meaningful lessons then you are in for a surprise. Throughout my educational career I have motivated and developed educators through seminars on leadership development, professional development, team building initiatives, one on one coaching.
In my position as, Assistant Director of Hyde Leadership Public Charter School, I lead a faculty in opening a new charter school as well as implementing a strong curriculum that produced a 99% college acceptance in our 4th year. I assisted new and veteran teachers with how to develop strong relationships with students and their families. I facilitated weekly meetings that focused on goals and outcomes. We analyzed data to formulate strategies and implement interventions that changed our culture and produced positive results. Through my leadership, teachers have gone on to become Principals, directors, instructional coaches as well as counselors among other educational endeavors.
In my twenty-four years as an educator, I have had the privilege of working in several Title I schools. In this setting, I have found these schools to face many challenges. Teachers usually have to have outstanding classroom management, engaging lessons, and empathy for students who face an array of disadvantages. I coach teachers on what strategies to use and how to keep students engaged. I know how to build trust with adults and get them to believe in themselves and the work that they are doing. As a transparent leader I often share my struggles and incorporate others in the decision making process.
