In our sixth Creating Thinking Systems episode, sponsored by OPSOA (Ontario Public Supervisory Officers’ Association), TC² Executive Director, Usha James, begins the first of a two-part conversation on school visits with three Ontario superintendents, each in a different phase of their careers.

In this episode we meet Superintendents Jay MacJanet, Tina Jones, and Vida Collis, and reflect with them on how they learned that school visits may not be what they seem on the surface, setting the stage for our follow-on episode where we explore how impactful school visits can be as part of an intentional process and plan.

Credits:
Host: Usha James
Guests:  Jay MacJanet (Formerly Superintendent of Education with Trillium Lakelands District School Board, now Director of Education with Near North District School Board); Tina Jones (Superintendent of Education for Innovation and Inclusion for Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board); and Vida Collis (Superintendent of Student Achievement and Well-Being with the Waterloo Region District School Board, now retired)
