Overview

The Department of Administrative Leadership develops educational leaders committed to equity for all. We believe that excellent educational leaders nurture leadership among others in the school community; create positive work environments for students, staff and parents; and contribute to the improvement of teaching and learning; and also disrupt inequities and (re)create more equitable systems and schools.
