THE PROGRAM

The thoughtful practice of educational leadership in a context of school district change involves engaging with multiple constituencies – school and community-based. Constituencies hold conflicting social, political and cultural claims regarding the aims of education in a democratic and pluralist society.

Educational leadership is a situated ethical practice that extends the boundaries of schooling into the community by engaging with the social justice issues at stake.

This off-campus M.Ed. program offers a responsive, and engaging graduate program co-created with the Vancouver School District that allows participants to:

·       Prepare for a leadership role in their school or district.

·       Build relationships and interact with colleagues as part of a community of learners.

·       Engage in understanding, critiquing and improving educational policy and practice.

·       Explore the five competencies of 21st Century learning from the BC Education Plan through the lens of diversity and Indigenous education.

·       Gain a greater understanding of leadership and mentorship for social justice, diversity, inclusion, community engagement and Indigenous education.

·       Contribute to capacity building and professional capital through mentorship opportunities across the school district.

·       Reflect on the aims of education in a democratic and pluralist society.

·       Broaden their perceptions on school life and develop their thinking skills ­ within a background of Canadian content.
