Prairiewood High School principal Belinda Giudice said she is looking forward to "leveraging new learnings" with her school community, principal colleagues, the broader profession and public education community on her return from a professional education program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education that is specifically designed to strengthen the skills of educational leaders. "To adopt the words of Harvard: it is giving me the chance to be the change I want to see in the world," she told the Champion. "I am hoping to strengthen my educational leadership capacity and influence the growth of others.
Ms Giudice, who has been principal at Prairiewood High School for four years, was this week announced as one of three recipients of a Harvard Principals Scholarship and will travel to Harvard University in July 2023 for the course. "I am deeply humbled and excited to receive a Principal Scholarship to Harvard from the Teachers Mutual Bank. "It reaffirms my first-hand experience of the power and purpose of education to transform one's life trajectory. The Elizabeth Hills resident said she could not ask for a more rewarding career. "I entered the teaching profession to make a positive difference in the lives of those in my sphere of influence.
"I see the power and purpose of education and public education in particular is to transform the life trajectories of our students. "Day in and day out, we empower our students, families, and community with these skills and mindset to thrive and then contribute to the world ahead of them. So what is she most looking forward to about going to Harvard? "I am voraciously curious to expand my repertoire of educational leadership strategies and tools and deepen my understanding of the research underpinning these," she said. "I have recently completed Harvard's Certificate of Advanced Education Leadership and being able to build on this learning in situ with international peers will be an exceptional opportunity.
