The Lester B.

Pearson School

Board (LBPSB), one of the largest school boards in Québec, is building a pool of future educational leaders for Vice-Principal and Assistant Centre Director roles across our Elementary and High School regions, Adult Education, and Vocational Training.

At their core, these positions require the ability to learn continuously, integrate new and complex information, and apply that learning to lead effectively and make informed decisions for the school or centre.

We are looking for problem-solvers and lifelong learners who thrive on tackling complex issues, adapting to new information, exercising sound judgment, and finding innovative solutions. We value leaders who may not have all the answers today, but who demonstrate the curiosity, capacity, and judgment to learn quickly and translate that learning into effective leadership.

These roles provide an entry point into a leadership career at LBPSB, offering diverse challenges, meaningful opportunities to make an impact, and significant potential for professional growth and advancement.

We Are Seeking New Educational Leaders Who

- Centre decisions on students and establish a transparent vision for inclusive, culturally responsive learning, with high expectations and multiple pathways to success for every learner.
- Lead teams through a collaborative management style and address conflict in a timely, fair, and constructive manner.
- Mobilize staff, parents, students, and community partners around the mission, vision, and priorities of the school or centre.
- Build and sustain trusting relationships grounded in understanding, caring, collaboration, and clear communication.
- Communicate with impact in English and effectively in French, both in writing and in live settings with diverse audiences.
- Demonstrate a forward-looking approach to technology and artificial intelligence, using emerging tools thoughtfully to enhance teaching and learning,



support effective decision-making, and improve organizational effectiveness.
- Turn data into action by setting meaningful targets, selecting appropriate strategies, monitoring progress, and adjusting course when needed.
- Demonstrate strong knowledge of applicable Québec curriculum and educational frameworks, supported by a clear, evidence-informed pedagogical vision.
- Demonstrate sound judgment and effectiveness in time management, planning, organization, and decision-making.
- Understand the regulatory and organizational environment in which schools and centres operate, including applicable regulations, collective agreements, Board policies, and procedures.
- Model lifelong learning and champion ongoing professional growth for themselves and others.
