Chatting to Dr. Denise Mifsud about her experiences in leadership was an absolute treat. Denise is currently Associate Professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Bath, and has over two decades of practitioner experience in education settings in both teaching and high-level leadership roles within the Maltese Ministry for Education. Denise brings a unique viewpoint through her experiences working in research, policy, and practice and is extremely generous in sharing her knowledge about this “triage”. She speaks about the importance of choosing the good, leading from the ground, and the need to work towards social justice and equity in schools.
