Education Leaders: Nurturing Sustainable Leadership
The Education Leaders: Nurturing Sustainable Leadership fellowship program is a self-directed, facilitator-supported learning process for experienced education professionals interested in innovative, strategic, and effective school leadership in elementary, secondary, and college learning environments.
This Professional Learning Fellowship (PLF) draws from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education’s (OISE) evidence-based Ontario Leadership Framework, introduced in 2006 by Professor Kenneth Leithwood, and is focused on enhancing and supporting the practices of successful education leaders.
While working on your own professional inquiry, you’ll explore the development of processes and tools that can be used by education leaders to address existing challenges, implement effective solutions, lead strategic school improvement initiatives, and support students and colleagues to create environments where learning thrives.
Our PLF experience is a flexible, adult learning structure with an inquiry-orientation. You’ll be supported by an experienced process facilitator, and experts-in-residence, to enhance your professional agency and build your capacity as an education leader.
