Canadian School Survey

People for Education (P4E) has launched the first ever Annual Canadian School Survey. It was developed in collaboration with principals across Canada, and we encourage you to participate. We’re supporting the work because P4E has been an effective, evidence-based advocate for publicly funded education. The results will help to shine a light on things like staffing challenges, mental health, AI and tech and more. Your participation in the survey is voluntary, confidential and helps ensure that both policymakers and the broader public have an accurate picture of the successes and challenges and overall reality in Canada’s schools. It can be accessed here and will be open until November 30. Some of you may have received an email with a link that you can also use. If you have any questions, please email canadianschoolsurvey@peopleforeducation.ca.

Navigating Relationships at Work

School leaders carry significant responsibility and are held to high standards of professionalism. As a role model, your behaviour sets the tone for the school community. Differing personal, professional and institutional goals can sometimes lead to workplace conflicts. Read our Protective Services Team tip sheet on Navigating Relationships at Work for practical guidance on staying professional, managing challenges and prioritizing student well-being.
