3 MAY 2023 · In this first episode we focus on self-awareness and knowledge. Listeners are offered a snapshot of the voices of principals and vice-principals' across the province reflecting on their own awareness, knowledge, identities and positionality to highlight school leadership with a focus on equity, accessibility and inclusion. Through self-reflection on a series of questions, this podcast explores the experiences of school administrators defining their own identities. As you listen to the podcast, consider your leadership practices that may be: - culturally responsive to recognize, address and reduce barriers to student success for students with special education needs and students with disabilities - characterized by anti-oppressive anti-ableist and anti-colonial environments fostering accessibility, inclusion, and full participation; - Supportive of the implementation of such practices in schools. Leading Authentically would like to acknowledge the participation of the three Principal organizations in Ontario: https://adfo.org/, https://www.cpco.on.ca/CPCO/CPCO/Home.aspx and https://www.principals.ca/en/index.aspx, as well as the generous support of the Ontario Ministry of Education.
