About Jamiliah Smith Weathersby

Hey there! I\'m Jamiliah (Jah-mill-e-ah), and I specialize in using data to transform the goals and needs of businesses into rich and engaging learning experiences. I have over 10 years of experience in curriculum development and instructional design. Since 2014, I have led teams of educators to meet the goals and initiatives of school districts, currently Cobb County School district, the 2nd largest district in Georgia?\"If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.\"-A proverb I know all too well. It\'s what my Dad would say whenever he took the time to teach my siblings and me how to do something new or better. The first time I saw the magic of teaching was as a mentor in a high school club, and I have been invested in the power of learning and development ever since.\'? In 2014, I was promoted to department lead. Since then, I have developed the skills necessary to serve as a leader, mentor, and coach for other educators. In 2021, I earned my 3rd degree. I became an education specialist, increasing my leadership and instruction skills beyond the master\'s level. To date, I have led and served in leadership committees specializing in the following areas: DEI Initiatives LMS Management Project Management Change Management New-Hire Onboarding Implementation Management\'? 🧩I am looking for an opportunity to broaden my professional scope through education. I will bring immediate value to an organization seeking a leader in learning and development. I am skilled in building and scaling learning and development programs for fast-paced growth while maintaining an inclusive, diverse, and positive working environment! 🤝I\'d love to connect and discuss with like-minded individuals and future employers seeking a resourceful and innovative leader in learning and development.
