Availability: Enrolment is closed

This is a facilitated online course that includes some mandatory synchronous sessions with real-time group interaction set by the Instructor. Audio and video recordings will be a required element of the learning.

Offered through the Faculty of Education at York University and designed in collaboration with Ontario's Conference of Independent Schools, PQP ISF Part 1 provides a specific Independent School Focus and is designed to prepare and support leadership candidates for the complexity of the most senior administrative roles in Independent Schools. While exploring similar concepts as the regular stream PQP, such as legislation, leadership frameworks, and improvement planning, the PQP ISF will also assist with succession leadership planning for Ontario independent schools and inquire into the roles of admissions, marketing, strategic planning and other independent school focussed concepts.

For more information on the Part 1 (Independent School Focus) program elements, see the PQP Part 1 (Independent School Focus) Course Outline & Topics.
