The mael program has given me the opportunity to develop and apply leadership skills in my work context. The courses have equipped me with current reference materials that inform and guide my practice. I have also been challenged to articulate my vision which has resulted in a recent promotion to become the vice-principal of my school!

The mael program has helped me to see my potential as an effective and innovative Indigenous educational leader. The teachers have done an amazing job creating and fostering a collaborative culture, which for me is at the heart of educational leadership. The theoretical, practical, and ethical tools have helped to strengthen my practice.
