Myesha McMillan
Summary
Dedicated educational leader,seeking vice principal role, with a strong background in program development and committed to elevating student success by fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration and resilience. As a school leader, my approach to academic recovery is rooted in the strategic alignment of systems and management with real-time student performance data. Upon identifying critical proficiency gaps in our end of NJSLA scores, I exercised school-wide leadership by designing and coordinating a high-dosage tutoring framework that bridged the gap between classroom instruction and individualized student needs. Collaborated in school wide expectations to implement systematic intervention in Saturday School and beyond that ensured 50% of participating students moved up at least one placement level on the standardized year-end assessment.
