Overview
Our Mentoring Qualification Program (MQP) will teach you the strategies, tools and processes that form the foundations of effective mentoring and coaching. Using a practical, applied approach to learning, this program provides transformational skills to support administrators, teachers, managers, supervisors, business and support staff in an inclusive and collaborative learning environment.
Our MQP was developed by experienced elementary and secondary principals from across the province to enhance leadership capacity throughout the system by combining the skills, strategies and processes of both mentoring and coaching. This Additional Qualification (AQ) program is aligned with the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) guideline for Mentoring, the Ontario Leadership Framework (2013) and the Ministry of Education resource, Mentoring for All.
Key learning components include
- theoretical foundations of mentoring and coaching
- program planning, development and implementation
- instructional strategies and support, with an emphasis on equity, experiential learning and skill development
- building relationships and developing people
- having courageous conversations and
- legislation, policy and practical resources.
A minimum of 125 hours of instructional contact time is included in the program through the practical application of learning and skills with a chosen mentee, a personalized project, digital tools, a choice of reading materials and personalized learning opportunities engaging candidates with trained facilitators and one another.
