TRAINING FOR DIRECTORS OF PRESCHOOL INSTITUTIONS – DISTANE TRAINING WITH THE HELP OF WEB 2 TOOLS

Within Inclusive Early Childhood Education and Project on November 19 and 20, 2020, the distance training for directors of preschool institutions for taking the license exam was realized.

The training program for preschool principals who are in the process of preparing for the license exam was developed by the team of CIP – Center for Interactive Pedagogy in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, the Institute for the Advancement of Education and the UNICEF team.

The contents of direct training are adapted for remote work with the help of Web 2 tools (for meetings, conferences: Zoom, Skype, MT…) and are an integral part of the entire training for directors of preschool institutions, which includes mandatory (unmoderated) distance training (at ZUOV Edu platform for the implementation of programs of public interest https://obuke.zuov.gov.rs/).

The training was realized online, during two days with a total duration of 7 hours, using a flipped learning approach (a concept that envisages a change in the organization of the learning process in order to improve the quality of training with the use of modern technology). Participants received the Coaches’ Handbook, as well as all materials before the training, and the training time was used for practical issues related to distance training of directors, dilemmas, support needs, exercises, etc.

The training took place in a very stimulating working atmosphere, with constant exchange between participants and leaders, which all contributed to the improvement of digital competencies of all participants.
