Private School Principals' (PSP) Courses - Parts I and II
Private school leaders are confronted daily with complex challenges unique to their private school role and environment. 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.
York University is pleased to partner with the Ontario Federation of Independent Schools in providing two highly informative, engaging and motivating courses specifically designed for prospective and current leaders in private school education. Part I focuses upon the development of the first of the two parts of Ontario's educational Leadership Framework - Leader Practice and Competencies and on developing the skills of soon-to-be or recently appointed private school leaders. Part II will focus on the development of the second of the two
parts of Ontario's educational Leadership Framework - System Practices
and Procedures.
Both courses are certified by York University and are annually revitalized through a critical review process jointly effected by York University and the Ontario Federation of Independent Schools.
Each course will run at York University, and will consist of preparatory, interactive on-line, in-person and practicum sessions. Well-educated and well-experienced instructors will provide a balanced practical and theoretical delivery model, supplemented by appropriately specialized guest speakers. To ensure ample opportunity for candidate interactions and to protect the integrity of the small group adult learning model, registrations will be strictly limited to a maximum of 30 candidates.
