Conclusion of Second Online Formation Course for Directors of Salesian Schools in America
(ANS - RMG –Roma, 02 December 2014) – In November, Fr Miguel Angel García of the Department for Youth Ministry completed the second online initial formation course for Directors of Salesian Schools in America. The course dealt with the basic elements of a formation plan for directors of Salesian centres, combining technical efficiency and economic feasibility with formation for the Salesian mission.

These include holders of management posts, teachers who will have management responsibilities in the future or have recently taken on such responsibilities and have not yet received the relevant formation. These teachers belong to the eighteen Provinces of the Salesians, the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians and Daughters of the Divine Saviour in America and represaent over sixty-five Salesian schools in Central America, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
The course includes seven modules:: the identity of the Salesian school; management role and human resources; programming and projects; organization and management of educational centres; quality assessment and management of education; the educational centre as an organization; and finally a module that includes a report on project management.
The course was provided by forty-nine tutors from America and Spain, and teaching was adapted according to the needs of tutors and students. During the course, in addition, the school directors received constant assistance in the implementation of activities and forums.
