Xhariep ERC PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
WORKSHOPS FOR OFFICE BASED
OFFICIALS AND SCHOOL MANAGEMENT TEAMS OF THE XHARIEP EDUCATION DISTRICT
By SSS KAU
Support for Office based officials, School Management Teams and educators
in their personal and professional development is one the cornerstones in the
teaching profession to ensure high profile productive schools. Seminars and
workshops should be run for educators irregardless of rank in order to empower
them in various fields, e.g. listening skills, team-building, managing change,
setting goals and developing creative thinking skills, etc.
Educators are the most valuable resource of any school and should be
supported and nurtured with vigour and in a well-structured manner. The Xhariep
Education Resource Centre is the vehicle to address the issue by keeping in
touch with schools in the District and providing a forum for exploring
whole-school development. It is for this reason that the ERC organized a series
of workshops for SMTs’ around the District. The theme of the workshop was Enhancing team effectiveness, Communication
and Customer Care.
