Welcome to new trainees

Be A Leader!

The staff of NCERD would like to offer a very warm welcome to all of the new Education Management Programme trainees throughout Guyana. We were inundated with applications for this batch 2008 - 2010. In most regions, applications were up by 50% and choices had to be made as to who would be able to join the Programme. We have no doubt that Master Trainers and REDOs have made the right choices and that, if you are one of the new trainees, you will do all within your power to complete the 18 month programme successfully.

Remember that all the modules have been rewritten and are now COMPLETELY GUYANESE. The programme is very interactive and you are encouraged to reflect on your own practice as you go along. We always give our own thoughts on these reflections, so you can see whether you are on the right lines or not.

Modules 1 - 4, the Programme Handbook and the Trainee Assessment Guide are already available on this website both in text and PDF format. Just go to the sidebar on the right to find links to them. Progress is being made on the Part Two Modules. Modules 5, 6 and 7 have been rewritten and now await final formatting and printing. Module 8 will be completed by Christmas and in the New Year you can expect to see them appearing on the site.

If you are not on the programme but simply want to look at the materials, you can download them from this site. However, even better news, all of the modules are going to be available in every Guiyanese school next year. Your HM will have a complete set for you to look at. Your REDO already has a set.

If you have not yet registered with us, why not do so today and you will receive an email and links every time we update the site. Just go to the side bar on the right and scroll down to the "Register" section. We look forward to hearing from you.

And also, a word to those of you who are looking at these materials from further afield. We've seen you browsing from Africa, Asia, Central and South America. The materials can be freely reproduced in any Commonwealth country with the permission of the Commonwealth Secretariat in London. Otherwise, as they are on the net, if you are not in Guyana, they are for individual use. We would appreciate an email so that we know who is using them to admin@ncerdleaders.com.

So, as you can see, there is a great thirst for training at this Leadership Level in our schools. We'll finish by reminding you that .......

"Good leaders are expensive but bad leaders are even more costly when we try to rectify the mistakes they make."

Get yourself trained if you are going

to do the job properly.

Our children deserve nothing less than the best.
