Details: In partnership with the Centre for Leadership and Diversity, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto we are offering a unique learning experience for principals and vice-principals to participate in an inquiry that focuses on leading for equity.

Through this four-part series, participants will co-create a program which strengthens their agency, confidence and commitment to leading for human rights, social  justice, anti-oppression and the decolonization of educational spaces. Building on participants’ unique experiences and learning needs,  the program will provide opportunities to learn and unlearn, surface assumptions and beliefs and name fears and challenges in order to help participants move their work from transactional to transformational. It will model an anti-racist and anti-oppressive instructional design.

The goals of this program include:

  • supporting administrators to move from theory to action

  • developing the skills to effectively facilitate staff learning

  • supporting resistant and fearful learners

  • building alliances for equity work and

  • responding confidently to counter-movements and other systemic barriers.

It will be a responsive experience, acknowledging the ever-changing and iterative nature of the work and the need to celebrate progress, not perfection.
