While student bodies have become increasingly diverse, this diversity is not represented in school profiles. In the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the educational workforce, particularly school administrators, is not reflective of the demographics of the city or the students it is meant to serve.
Leading for Equity recognizes this disconnect and is proposing an innovative program committed to equity and reflective leadership.
Leading for Equity is an innovative leadership program for global majority educators who want to know more about the evolving conceptions and practices of leadership in relation to urban diverse contexts.
Leading for Equity places special emphasis on the barriers to hiring, retention and promotion of visible minority leaders.
Leading for Equity also offers the opportunity for aspiring minority leaders to network, do action research, work collaboratively, and receive mentorship and peer support, guided by an outstanding team of mentors who are cognizant of the current condition and are well informed of related international literature and programs developed elsewhere.
Leading for Equity is supported and funded by the Council of Ontario Directors of Education (CODE).
