One of our goals in Wild Rose Public Schools is to develop a strong, identifiable and sustainable culture of outstanding leadership, exemplary teaching and excellence in learning, which we have defined as “the knowledge and beliefs relative to high-performance leadership, teaching and learning that are consistently and expertly put into practice by the entire staff of a school division, relative to respective roles, thereby creating opportunities for each student to achieve optimal learning”.
We define outstanding educational leadership as “the expert, consistent and creative application of the fundamentals of educational leadership practice, thereby creating opportunities for every student to have ongoing access to exemplary teaching and opportunities to achieve optimal learning”. The Shared Vision of Outstanding Educational Leadership complements the Division’s Shared Vision of Exemplary Teaching.
Putting it all together, the culture of Wild Rose Public Schools is what we believe in, what we know, and what we do. For that reason, our staff has agreed on the following “shared vision of exemplary teaching” for our schools. The vision includes our collective, non-negotiable beliefs about teaching and learning, and the actions we undertake that are consistent with our beliefs. We have expressed the actions in the form of affirmations that show the type of educators we are becoming on a consistent basis. The affirmations are specific, observable commitments that we are making to our school community. (Note: Each set of affirmations has been cross-referenced to Alberta Education’s Teaching Quality Standard.) In sum, what follows is “our essence as teachers” in Wild Rose Public Schools.

Shared Vision of Exemplary Teaching
The Shared Vision of Outstanding Educational Leadership describes our core beliefs about educational leadership practice, and the fundamental actions we undertake that are consistent with our beliefs. We have expressed the fundamental actions in the form of affirmations that show the type of educational leaders we are becoming on a consistent basis. The affirmations are specific, observable commitments that we are making to our school communities. They are also a powerful description of the influences educational leaders have on instructional practice and student learning. It is to be noted that each set of affirmations has been cross-referenced to Alberta Education’s Principal Quality Practice Guideline.
