Education Canada Job Posting for Maple Leaf

We recently came across a very interesting job posting on educationcanada.com. Maple Leaf is expanding, so they are actively looking for principals to lead their new schools. What we found so interesting is the description of the duties of a Maple Leaf Principal. We wonder if this job description has always been the same, or if it has been revised to reflect many of the issues that have arisen at Maple Leaf Schools such as TTMLIS. We did not witness the following expectations being met by the administrative team at TTMLIS, including the Principal and the Superintendent of all Maple Leaf Schools. We hope that future administrators at Maple Leaf will meet the expectations listed below.


Here are the expected duties of a Maple Leaf Principal that were not fulfilled at TTMLIS:

 - Generally supervises the affairs and day-to-day operations of the School by ensuring the smooth management of the organization, operations and resources for a safe, efficient and effective learning environment:

 - Addresses current and potential issues in a timely manner.

 - Implements effective preventive and corrective discipline procedures with teachers and staff members to ensure that school rules and policies are upheld and maintained.

 - Provides initial orientation and ongoing training and guidance for Canadian teachers regarding their development of an understanding of and respect for Chinese lifestyle, traditions and cultural expectations, MLES policies and rules, the Chinese teachers and staff members.

 - Acts with integrity, fairness and in an ethical manner: - Demonstrates ethical and professional behavior with the MLES Board of Directors, administrators, teachers, students, parents and community.

 - Demonstrates the values, beliefs and attitudes that inspire others to higher levels of performance. - Demonstrates respect for divergent opinions.

 - Upholds and complies with all School policies.

 - Provides professional leadership by example in dress and appearance, conversation, behavior, deportment and respect for Maple Leaf International Schools’ requirements and Chinese traditions and cultural expectations.
