Meet Dr. Sharon H. Porter

"The purpose of principal coaching is not for self-understanding in and of itself.  It is to achieve a successful action."

~Leonard Lubinsky

Learn. Lead. Serve

I serve as an Educational Leader for a large urban school district in Maryland. 

I am a proud graduate of Winston-Salem State University (B.S. Elementary Education), National-Louis University, (M.Ed. Curriculum & Instruction), Johns Hopkins University (Post Masters Graduate Certificate-Administration & Supervision), Walden University (Ed. S. Administrator Leadership ), and Howard University (Doctor of Education-Educational Leadership and Policy Studies).

   

 I am a native of  Winston-Salem, NC. I am married with a beautiful bonus-daughter who is a graduate of Howard University.  I also have an adorable Bichon Frise, CoCo Cotton.  We call her CoCo!    

CoCo "Cotton Love" Porter

I enjoy reading for professional growth, traveling, and volunteering in the community and at my Place of Worship. I am an active member of Delta Sigma ThetaSorority, Inc (a service organization) where I spend most of my time mentoring female middle school students through the Delta Academy. I am also an active member of each of my Alumni Associations.

 I served as principal for eight years with Prince George's County Public Schools (Maryland) and Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools (North Carolina).

I am a twenty-five year veteran in public education (Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, Prince George's County Public Schools, and Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools) serving in the capacity of classroom teacher (CMS and PGCPS), Instructional Coordinator (PGCPS), Assistant Principal (PGCPS), Test Development Specialist (PGCPS), Regional Instructional Specialist (PGCPS), and Principal (PGCPS and WS/FCS).

I have a passion for educational leadership,  principal preparation, and leadership development.  Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.  Please, by all means, join the conversation by leaving your comments and thoughts for any of the blog entries.

I seek to inspire quality innovative leadership from new and aspiring principals. I am a proactive problem solver and I continually develop my leadership skills through a never-ending process of life-long learning to include self-study, formal education, and experience.

Learning, Leading, Serving....
