Women in Educational Leadership WRDSB

Our statement about Pride month. Also available at bit.ly/3X1GAgo.

"It is incumbent on all school boards to ensure ALL students--most especially 2SLGBTQ+ students--feel supported, reflected in their schools, and welcomed within our communities."

On major life decisions, the purpose of seeking advice is not to get answers. It’s to gain perspective. No one knows what's best for you. They can only share what makes sense to them. The most important question to ask is not what you should do. It's what you might be missing.

Enjoy your long weekend! We hope you can find some time with family & friends to recharge your batteries & enjoy some downtime.

Join us on July 6 at the OPC office in Toronto or virtually for an interactive session that focuses on transforming school culture, building trust and belonging – where all students and staff can thrive. principals.ca/en/professiona… #OPCLeadLearn

Monday is principal appreciation day. It is often one of the least acknowledged employee appreciation days in education. May you know that your work matters, that you are doing important things, and that your leadership is influential in challenging times. @OPCouncil

A busy life is not a symbol of status. It's a symptom of trying to do too much for too many people. A full calendar brings a surplus of stress and a shortage of energy. Reflecting and relaxing should be top priorities. Unscheduled time isn't wasted. It's invested in well-being.

#EidMubarak! We want to wish the Muslim community who are celebrating the end of #Ramadan a very happy and joyful Eid al-Fitr. We hope you have a wonderful time celebrating with family, friends and loved ones - near and far. #EidalFitr

Success is not about winning a competition. It’s about making a contribution. Takers aim to be better than others. Givers strive to bring out the best in others. The most meaningful way to succeed is to help others succeed. adamgrant.substack.com/p/the-most-mea…

Wow. How being an educator can feel. This one is worth showing your staff. Some challenges can’t be solved in one school year and are bigger than us, but we keep showing up to do the work. #publiceducation Thank you for your continued commitment to education.

Leaders can be “anxious, sensitive, kind, and wear your heart on your sleeve.” Thank you @jacindaardern ❤️
