October 21-23 AND November 18-20
Private school leaders are confronted daily with complex challenges unique to their private school role and environment. PSP Part I focuses upon the development of Leader Practices and Competencies, and upon developing the skills of soon-to-be or recently appointed private school leaders. Directly accountable to the provincial Ministry of Education, these leaders must skillfully balance individual student educational needs with provincial curriculum standards, must meticulously plan and implement financial budgets, and must capably manage school revenues and expenses, while all the time meeting the needs of the many stakeholders (students, families, staff, governors, and community members) invested in their school's success.
PSP Part II will focus on the development of the second of the two parts of Ontario's educational Leadership Framework - System Practices and Procedures. Part II candidates will explore, in more depth, and with the benefit of their accumulated experiences and wisdoms, the practical aspects of principalship, examined in the light of current research and theories. Contemporary educational issues, applied to and discussed in the context of real case scenarios, will be the focus of Part II. Candidates will be expected to draw from and to share their own experiences, in mutually beneficial small group environments, structured for the professional development of all. Facilitation will be the preferred method of instruction.
