83. Nurturing Critical Thinkers: The Power of Diversity in Education with Dr. Sean Miller

The Power Transformation Podcast

What drives someone to leave a successful corporate career to become a groundbreaking educator? Join me as I reconnect with Dr. Sean Miller, a childhood friend whose passion for teaching has transformed countless lives. His story is a testament to how authenticity and resilience can pave a new path - even when initial hesitation clouds the way.
Join Us As Dr. Sean:

• Shares his remarkable journey from corporate America to the classroom;
• Unravels the unique challenges he faced as a Black male educator, a demographic that makes up a mere 1.7% of the teaching workforce;
• Discusses his ambitious efforts in pioneering and teaching an Advanced Placement African American Studies course in a Virginia high school — a revolutionary step gaining national attention; and
• Explains the broader role of educators in nurturing critical thinking and the need for diverse, passionate voices in educational leadership.
