Meet The Director: Lynn Heady

Lynn Heady Director of Micah Children's AcademyLynn Heady, previously Director of Teaching, Learning and Assessment for Williamson County Schools (WCS), has been named Director of Micah Children’s Academy, a new pre-school owned and operated by Congregation Micah, a Reform Jewish synagogue.

Heady received her Bachelor’s degree with a major in Elementary Education and her Master’s Degree in Elementary Education with a Curriculum Emphasis from Memphis State University. She holds Pennsylvania and Tennessee certifications in Instruction (pre-K to 8) and Administration (pre-K to 12).

“As an experienced educator, I look forward to pulling all the pieces together at Micah Children’s Academy: listening to the needs of our children through the eyes of their families; respecting and growing the talents of our teaching and support staff; and creating a curriculum that offers our students a strong foundation for success,“ said Heady.

In addition to her seven years of curriculum development and teacher training for WCS, Heady works with Tennessee State University and PBS Nashville and national affiliates as an online instructor for practicing teachers wanting to enter the pre-K arena or learn about the foundations of literacy. As Adjunct Professor at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody School of Education, she has taught a graduate level curriculum course.

“Lynn Heady’s extraordinary grasp of curriculum and best practices within the field will create a stellar program at Micah Children’s Academy. Her collaborative leadership style will invite teachers and parents to be active participants in the school. Her delight in working with children and her understanding that children learn best through interactive play will infuse the school with energy, “said Julie Greenberg, Congregation Micah Education Director.
