A commentary by a former long-serving education minister in Alberta, and former executive director of a provincial association of public school boards.
In a democracy, public school education is the most important social institution. Public school education is, by far, the single most important institution by which we sustain and regenerate our community.The support work of principals and other administrators, executive assistants, curriculum development specialists, librarians, secretaries , and custodians can make or break the efforts of teachers.
How does a candidate want the circumstances to be different, and better, in four years, for students; teachers and all other staff; and the community of Greater Victoria? It is interesting to know that a candidate has hands-on experience, organizing and doing. But, I want to know that candidates are deeply aware of the context for public education in the district and are aware of the constraints on their role, and have imagination, and value risk assessment and risk management.
