Press Release Summary: The "training the trainer" programme will impart Managerial
skills for

DIET principals and senior faculty



Press Release Body: IIM Lucknow announces the launch of its third programme for
District Institute of Education Training, Uttar Pradesh. This "training the trainer
programme" will be held at the IIM Lucknow campus from the 2nd to the 6th of June
2008 and will see participation of 25 Principles and Vice Principles of DIET.



In order to inculcate the right teaching methods and methodologies and the latest
management techniques to the principals of the government schools at the district
level, Indian Institute of Management Lucknow has been working on training
programmes called 'Managerial Skills for District Institute of Education Training
(DIET) Principals and Senior Faculty' for the past three years.



The 5-day programme provides training to the Principals of DIET spread across the
districts of UP through a number of new management techniques taught to the faculty
trainers at DIET. This includes case studies and making the DIET participate in
various games and other projects.



The first such workshop was held in March 2007, and buoyed by the response, IIML
conducted the second workshop between the 5th & 9th of June 2007. This was attended
by around 16 DIET principals and aimed at teaching the principals new methods of
training the teachers. The training was held at IIML campus and was conducted by
the faculty of the institute and career counselor Dr Amrita Dass.



This initiative of IIML is a part of its corporate social responsibility endeavours.
The institute realizes the need to not only train the future corporate managers but
also train the teachers and the senior faculty of the primary schools so that they
can impart the same to their students. IIML has inked a pact with State Council for
Education Research and Training (SCERT) to train DIET principals about latest
management techniques.





The programme is conducted with the purpose of inculcating strong managerial skills
even amongst the teachers who have to manage a large number of students as well as
handle administrative duties at the schools. "The idea is to empower the principals
with the knowledge of techniques on optimally managing their regular work and
bettering their performance. Since the principals are expected to coach the other
teachers, we give them tips on the same lines", say Prof Sushil Kumar, Director of
the Programme.



During the five-day workshop the Principals and senior faculty members will learn
about teamwork, experience-sharing, discover supervision styles and negotiating
skills, ways to develop an effective organizational culture and effective use of IT
tools in teaching.



Under the pact signed with SCERT, IIML will conduct series of workshops for
principals and teachers of Government schools in the state. The first two workshops
for the DIET principals, have already received a great response and were a huge
success.
