In order to apply to the posting, candidates must complete the following steps:
Candidates are required to create an account in BetterEducate by creating a Username and Password in order to access required documents for the application process.
Candidates will then be able to access their dashboard where the “My Leadership Profile” is located.
The completion and submission of the candidate's “My Leadership Profile” will inform the application as part of the selection process through the demonstration of the candidate's leadership actions and corresponding evidence of impact.
After Candidates complete their My Leadership Profile on BetterEducate, candidates download and save the PDF document to their computer.
Create a profile on Apply to Education (ATE). Candidates will be required to upload their cover letter and resume. Ensure your resume is in a format where the dates of your educational background, additional qualifications/professional certifications and work experience are in chronological order. Note: the alignment of your work experience is captured in My Leadership Profile within the BetterEducate tool and is not required to be included in your resume.
Once the ATE profile/portfolio has been completed, candidates will then upload their saved "My Leadership Profile" (PDF) to the Additional documents section, which can be found under Supporting documents.
The Selection Team will review all applications for eligibility by criteria and determine a list of candidates to move forward to Stage Two.
The in person interview is as follows:
The candidate shall respond to a variety of interview questions
The Selection Team will review and score Stage Two responses and determine a short-list to move forward to Stage Three
References will be contacted in this final stage of the process.
Three (3) professional referees who have supervised you, including name and detailed contact information; one of which must be your current Superintendent/Supervisor. It is good practice in any process to pre-conference with referees prior to providing them as a reference.
Candidates do not need the permission of their Superintendent/Supervisor to apply to the Superintendent Selection Process; the decision to apply is the Candidate’s.
