Considering the school principals’ pivotal role and their decisive input in managing the affairs of the schools even to the minutest details, it was realized that many teachers were finding it difficult to incorporate and integrate the newly envisaged teaching techniques in their mentoring practices. Out of many associated reasons for this, non-sensitization of school principals was being cited as the main obstacle. In addition to this many school principals had repeatedly requested PEF to launch a separate training event for the school principals/heads & second-in-command precisely focusing on their administrative and pivotal needs. This led PEF to launch 2 days SLDP Program in February, 2007.

Through this SLDP module school heads/principals are sensitized on educational management aspects with particular focus on education theories, interactive teaching methods, effective school management & the use of pedagogical skills.

Each SLDP module is 6 hours event in which 15-20 participants are invited. Each participant is paid honorarium @ Rs. 150/- per day, served refreshment @ Rs. 75/- per day and workshop participation certificate by PEF. The services of eminent training organizations are hired that conduct SLDP at a given cost.
