How to Apply

Principal Selection Process​

There are two (2) ste​p​s to the application process:

  1. Pre-Application Process with BetterEducate. 

    • Please follow the steps in this Quick Reference Guide to log in to Better Educate and access the My Leadership Profile which gets uploaded to the resume section of Apply to Education (ATE). This video (run time: 27 minutes) will demonstrate how to access the Better Educate Platform required as part of the YRDSB Vice Principal and Principal Application process. 

  2. Register and Apply to the Job Posting through Apply to Education 

    • This includes uploading your My Leadership Profile from BetterEducate into the Resume section on Apply to Education

See details for each step below. 

More information about the Principal Hiring Process and Timelines​ is available.

 

1. Pre-Application Process (BetterEducate)

Candidates are required to create an account in BetterEducate by creating a Username and Password in order to access required documents for the application process.

  • Once an account is created, candidates will receive an auto-generated email from YRDSB indicating Welcome to BetterEducate.com in the subject line.

  • Candidates will then be able to log into https://bettereducate.com/yrdsb in order to access their dashboard where the “My Leadership Profile” is located.

  • The completion and submission of the candidate's “My Leadership Profile” will inform the application as part of the selection process through the demonstration of the candidate's leadership actions and corresponding evidence of impact.

  • Please note that a resume and cover letter is not submitted as part of the application process, as the completion of the candidate’s “My Leadership Profile” replaces this through identification of leadership experiences and evidence of impact.

  • The newly created YRDSB Leadership Framework Self-Assessment Tool is located on the candidates BetterEducate Dashboard and can serve as a useful tool for candidates to reflect on their leadership actions and impact as they prepare for the selection process. Please Note: that completion of this tool is not a requirement and is not submitted as part of the selection process. Candidates are encouraged to use this resource as part of their preparation for the selection process.

 

2. Application to Posting (October 4 - October 12, 2021) through Apply to Education

  • After Candidates complete their “My Leadership Profile” on BetterEducate, they now create a profile on Apply to Education and upload their documents to ATE.

  • Once their ATE profile has been completed, candidates download and save the PDF document (entitled, “Candidate’s name, Leadership Profile”) to their computer.

  •  Candidates will then upload their saved “Leadership Profile” PDF to the Resume link on Apply to Education.
