South Kazakhstna Seminar on 'Project Management and Leadership in Education' is over. It should be mentioned that the materials of the Seminar were compiled on the basis of two previously attended trainings which were hosted by George Pickering (Britich Council) in Tashkent 2008 and Ruth Larimer, (Fulbright EL Fellow) in Issyk Kul, 2013.
Day 1 was really hard for participants, since so many new terms related to Leadership skills and styles, Partnership were introduced. But on the 2d Day despite variety of activities and new project development the team output was displayed and better understanding of every term and step was acquired.
Some of the quotes of the feedbacks: 'I realized how important is writing a confirmation message or responding to the original one' Irina Kim, TarGU. 'It is something new to think of the evaluation of your project but not just about the process of implementation' Gulmira Yemkulova, TarGU. Young trainers got aware of the importance of baseline data collection and found out new resources apart from Department of Education, the resources the local association has. And participants got to know that there could be other exhibitors apart from welknown InterPress and Macmillan. Local language centers and training centers have something to present.
The results of the Seminar:
TarGU team is working on the application form of the coming KazTEA conference
Taraz School Team is working on invitation letter text to speakers and contact them
Aksu team is working on updating database of TESh seminar participants
Kyzylorda Uni and Gymnazium team is working on detailed information for applicants
Thank you to every participant as every of them introduced something new. And a good number of young teachers, potential leaders join TESh activities.
