Transforming French Education Through Collaborative Feedback
This site showcases a leadership project developed as part of the OISE Principal's Qualification Program (PQP). It presents a comprehensive, research-based framework for improving French language education through collaborative feedback, culturally responsive teaching, and student-centred practices. The project was designed for a school's French department and includes protocols, tools, implementation plans, and a leadership reflection.
