GSET with support from Teaching Training Together, has organized the first of 3 seminars for 30 private school teachers. The workshop on “Becoming Effective School Leader and Teacher” was held on Thursday, 15th September to Saturday, 17th September, 2022 at Pentecost Preparatory School. The participating schools were Pentecost Preparatory School, Trinity Royal School, Lizbern Educational Complex and Wesley International School. Participating in the 3-day-long seminar were headteachers and their teachers from the selected schools. The first day was for school leaders, followed by a two day seminar for teachers and headteachers. 

TTT Seminars are distinguished by high-quality video simulations, scripted facilitation guides which are used by certified TTT facilitators. The seminar held in Koforidua represented the same standards accompanied by practical workshops between video segments.

Participants are expected to come out of this training more informed, supportive, confident and competent school leaders and teachers. School Leaders were better equipped with knowledge & skills to build trust in their staff and develop a community of collegiality. Teachers on the other hand, have been better equipped on the subjects of education history, theory, techniques and effective instructional approaches. 

GSET hopes to extend this professional development support to other private school teachers over the next 3years (this year inclusive) and over 100,000 public school teachers by the end of 2024.
