Another round of training for some of the Principals and Deputies of both primary schools and colleges took place last week. The training took one week at SCOPA Hall at Vaivase. This is an extension of the Leadership Training from last year with the first 2 modules completed for both Upolu and Savaii participants.
The focus on standards of good leadership as one main aspect of Principals’ Key Performance is acquiring appropriate skills. The conclusion of Module 3 highlighted Curriculum and Assessment Planning as well as Financial Management.
More than 40 participants attended and they were willing to learn new skills through shared activities and constructive methods offered by the trainers. Attendance was one important element of the training with the intention that the teachers will practise these skills once they resume their duties in schools next week.
