The training took place over one week at the Samoa College Old Pupil’s Association Hall at Vaivase.
This is an extension of the Leadership Training from last year with the first two modules already 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 learned 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 would practice these skills once they resumed their duties in schools next week.
The training was conducted by Education Consultant, Gatoloai Tilianamua Afamasaga.
Alaifea Laititi Sua, the team leader of consultants for the Samoa School Fee Grant Scheme (SSFGS) also assisted with budgeting and financial management training.
According to the trainers, they observed the participants’ anticipation to complete the course by creating a network to share the skills they obtain as well as the need to practise using these skills in leading their own schools.
It is planned that the final stage of the training will take place next month.
