What actually gets you selected

• Department head or curriculum lead

  The standard proving ground. Run something before you ask to run everything.

• Special education or safe schools experience

  Boards want administrators who can handle the hardest files.

• French-language qualification

  French boards have a thin leadership pipeline and promote faster.

• Willingness to move north or rural

  Remote boards will hand you a school years earlier than a city board will.
