Decolonizing Professional Learning – Melissa Villella
Dr. Mélissa Villella is Assistant professor of School Administration at Université du Québec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue. She is also Adjunct Professor at University of Ottawa.
In this episode, Dr. Villella drops by to talk about the research that she is doing in the area of transformative leadership (Carolyn Shields). In particular, we use Mélissa’s article, “Transformative Leadership: Leading French-Language Schools in Canadian Anglo-dominant Contexts” to dig deeper into the principles and approaches related to transformative leadership and how it connects with our conversations on decolonizing professional learning.
