"Education is not about knowing things or taking lessons but about being able to use three lingos: those of the head, the heart, and the hands... learning so that you can think about what you feel and do, can feel what you think and do, and can do what you feel and think.- Pope Francis

Congratulations for engaging in the “Leading the FSL program in Catholic Secondary Schools” asynchronous learning module.

Note: While the content in this course is mainly focused on the roles of Vice-Principal and Principal, they are supportive for all education leaders- positional or not.

Suggested readings enhance the learning experience. There are various Learning Journal Reflections and actionable items throughout the course for you to consider. The time you spend thoughtfully responding to reflection questions will support your development as an effective Catholic school leader.
