Forty-five teachers tasked with responsibilities of manning schools across Region Two received certificates upon completion of an Education management course offered by the National Centre for Education Resource Development (NECERD), yesterday.
The Education Management course offered to senior members of the teaching profession was aimed at improving School performance among senior educationists and to meet the needs of a child.
Master trainer and former head master of the Abram’s Zuil Secondary School, Mr. Maydha Persaud, said that a survey was done to ascertain the reason for poor performances in some schools. Results have shown that one of the factors responsible is poor leadership displayed by many of the heads with responsibilities for schools.
Persaud noted that the Education Management course was initially piloted in the Region, in 2000, which primarily targeted Head teachers.
Persaud stressed in his report that it has been widely agreed that one of the key factors influencing school effectiveness is the nature and quality of leadership and management provided by individual school heads.
He reminded teachers that the Head is said to be the heart of an institution and his leadership style is the heart beat. “A good and effective Head must instill in his staff that good teaching is about substance and treating students as consumers of knowledge.”
Best graduating student Senior Mistress, Patsy Jainarine, urged her fellow graduates to believe in themselves and to allow their dreams to emerge.
Jainarine added that while she had to endure tremendous challenges by juggling her home duties and her studies, the shifting of priorities has paid off in the end.
Senior Mistress, Kumarie Surettan, charged the graduating teachers to become instructional leaders while maximizing the capacity of the students’ will power to learn.
Surettan reminded her fellow teachers to also be role models for both their students and society.
Ms. Leslyn Edwards Charles, Regional Education Officer, said that all of the teachers from Region Two, who participated in the programme were successful.
She however added one of the most disappointing aspects of the programme was the recognition of the failure of teachers to apply what they would have learnt during previous programmes.
She called on the graduating teachers not to wait to become administrators to perform but to apply the gained managerial skills readily. (Yannason Duncan).
