Principal’s Qualification Program

The Faculty offers part I and part II of the principal’s qualification program in Ottawa.

The program developed by educational and administrative leaders respects the foundations of professional practice of the teaching profession established by the Ontario College of Teachers. The program is offered on the University of Ottawa campus by qualified and experienced principals and vice-principals from both the public and the catholic sectors as well as elementary and secondary.

They have been chosen according to their leadership qualities and competencies as demonstrated in their respective schools. The course respects the Ministry of Education and College of Teachers Guidelines and will present new concepts in leadership and management theories. These will help candidates develop their vision of leadership and education in an era of constant change and accountability.

Activities are organized in order to address the needs of the candidates. Such activities include the establishment of a portfolio, suggested techniques for interviews and appropriate role playing.

When part I, the practicum and part II are successfully completed, the candidate will have fulfilled the Ontario College of Teachers’ requirements for the principal’s certification (regulation 184/97).
