ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Linda Cliatt-Wayman - High school principalAs a Philadelphia high school principal, Linda Cliatt-Wayman held an unwavering belief in the potential of all children.
Why you should listen
Linda Cliatt-Wayman grew up in poverty in North Philadelphia, where she experienced firsthand the injustice being perpetrated against poor students in their education. She has dedicated her career and her life to ending that injustice, working within Philadelphia's fractured public-school system. She spent 20 years as a special-ed teacher before becoming a principal, leading two low-performing urban high schools to success with improved test scores and increased college admissions among students.
At Philadelphia's Strawberry Mansion High School (rapper Meek Mill's alma mater), Wayman and her team once again proved what is possible for low-income children. Test scores have improved every year since Wayman took over, and the school was removed from the federal Persistently Dangerous Schools List for the first time in five years. Diane Sawyer and her team spent the 2012-2013 school year documenting Wayman’s efforts for ABC World News Tonight and Nightline.
Cliatt-Wayman retired from Strawberry Mansion High School in May 2017.
