PQP Part II (Introduction)

 I have started the next portion of measure into the administration aspect of education, I am completing the course through Lakehead University and will devote the next month or so of posts to the journey I encounter as an educator here through Lakehead.

As per course, 

Welcome to Principal’s Qualification Program Part 2 at Lakehead University. For those of you who took PQP Part 1 with us, we are excited to have you back for Part 2. For those of you who have joined us after completing Part 1 elsewhere, we are very grateful that you have chosen to continue your leadership journey with Lakehead University.

As you know, in Ontario, the Principal’s Qualification Program, as governed by the OCT Act and corresponding guideline, consists of two courses and a practicum. The courses and the practicum are designed to help you to explore your personal leadership qualities, to understand the landscape and requirements for principals in Ontario, and to challenge you. Each course, in conjunction with a component of the practicum, has a corresponding credential. The learning goals for the program can be found in Rubric 7.1, which will be discussed in module 1.

The information below will help inform your Practicum, which forms an integral piece of both PQP Part 1 and PQP Part 2. 

The requirements for PQP Part 1 include the completion of the Practicum Proposal form. This means that before we can recommend you to the College for your PQP Part 1 credential, you must submit your proposal and have it approved by your PQP Part 1 instructor. 

In order to be recommended to the College for your PQP Part 2, you must complete your practicum. This is accompanied by the practicum report, which must be submitted to our independent practicum coordinator for evaluation.

In most cases, the practicum is evaluated by the provider that approved it, which is typically the provider where you took PQP Part 1.

If you have any questions about the Practicum please do not hesitate to ask.  We will also be setting up a Google Meet to discuss the Practicum requirement.
