Practical training:
One of the key questions in the process of training of principals concerns the transformation of acquired knowledge and skills into knowledge and skills that gain expression in the principal's work. Practical training is based on active simulation of these processes.
In this context, meaningful learning allows the practical application of concepts and ideas learned in the course. Practical training brings together theory and practice in the work of the principal, with emphasis on identifying, understanding, development, and implementation of moral, pedagogical, and administrative meanings in school and in the community.
