• Principal’s Qualification Program (PQP) Part 1 and Leadership Practicum - $300 subsidy

Today, aspiring and positional leaders need to lead in culturally responsive ways in order to reduce barriers to student success - and this is especially true for students with special needs. The moral imperative is to lead so that Catholic schools, K-12, guided by faith, are characterized by anti-oppressive and anti-colonial environments, accessibility and inclusion, and participation so that all students can reach their potential.

Subsidies are currently available to AQ candidates who registered for sessions beginning the Spring of 2022, until exhausted.

PLEASE NOTE: If a candidate’s practicum proposal has already been approved by an instructor, it cannot  be changed to align with this subsidy opportunity.

Subsidies will be awarded on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS.
