Pro-D Announcement
MED IN EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION & LEADERSHIP Begins April 2014 | Vancouver School Board |
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.
