Management for Learning course is a highlight for school leadership. Since 2013, the course has already formed about 4 thousand managers in almost 2 thousand schools. The pair of principals start the course with the Strategic Management module that include a school diagnosis phase. After 2 months, the pair choose a second module that will help to expand the repertoire and implement important tools in the school. At the end of a semester, they create an action plan to be developed with the school community in the following semester. The course was recognized by UNESCO as one of the best training programs for school principals in Latin America.
The course takes place in the hybrid format, with a two-day (12h) face-to-face meeting at the beginning of each semester and a distance-learning, through the virtual learning platform, where participants attend video-lessons, access various complementary articles and participate in discussion forums to exchange experiences with other colleagues. In addition, several activities are developed in the school itself, bringing theory and practice closer together, aiming at improving students' learning through a professional development.
This is a 1 year course with 180 hours of workload.
The Classroom Management course was created in 2011 supported by Lemann Foundation and inspired on the book Teach Like a Champion, from Doug Lemov.
The book, that was translated to Portuguese, opened and opportunity to create a training that could help the teachers in the implementation of classroom management strategies presented in Lemov's work. Therefore, in 2011, workshops were started and, in the following year, an annual program of continuous professional development program for teachers and managers.
The program has already served several cities in the states of São Paulo, Piauí and Goiás. In 2015, the course arrived in Ceará, attending 174 schools of the state network. The positive results were visible regarding the increase in effective teaching time in classroom, increasing results by 6 percentual points. Those results are part of an impact assessment study developed by the World Bank, which also indicated an increase of 4 points in the Portuguese index and 2 points in Mathematics index of schools that participated in the program. Until to 2017, about 1.100 school principals and almost 5.000 teachers attended the course.
For teachers, the course is currently available in the online model. They can record their own classes and share with educators to receive feedbacks to qualify their classes. The online format has a 90-hour workload.
For school principals, the course takes place in a hybrid model with 4 face-to-face meetings of 8h throughout the year and activities for online studying. In addition, they have practical activities to implement in school, such: development of training guidelines on the subjects studied to be applied with teachers of the schools, observation and report of class, planning of feedback and feedback with teacher.
