Prefect Training

This week I have been doing prefect training for the class leaders. Chris Blake has helped tremendously...including finding a digital projector at the school (which was hidden away in the school's safe and, apparently, not used much). We were told that we would have 14 prefects (2 for each seventh grade class). We have ended up with 27. Mr. January joked that some of them were self appointed class leaders. I think that some of them were just interested in what we are doing. Our training has centered on the characteristics of good leaders, goal setting, and decision-making. Tomorrow I am going to have them choose a class project for the year and then design a plan to implement that project. Today we also attended a ceremony sponsored by the GM Foundation for teachers and schools involved in their Teacher Learner Care Program. Four of our teachers from Emafini won awards at the program.
