This week on Positively Leading, I chat with Hayatti Miller, an Associate Principal at a new secondary college who is passionate about student voice and data-driven decision-making. She shares her inspiring leadership journey, rooted in resilience and curiosity, shaped by her challenging childhood experiences.

We discuss mentorship and how it has propelled her career from classroom teacher to leader. She emphasizes the importance of nurturing every student’s potential, particularly those who may be overlooked, and the necessity of creating an inclusive school environment.
We also discuss the unique challenges of establishing a new school, including building a strong community and effective teaching practices. We explore the significance of investing in professional learning for the leadership team and the power of collaboration in fostering a positive school culture.
With a focus on vulnerability and authenticity, Hayatti offers insights on approaching difficult conversations and the importance of staying true to one’s values in leadership.
This episode is for aspiring leaders. It reminds us that true leadership combines courage, kindness, and a commitment to student outcomes.
