  2. Through the development of a shared vision and mission with the school sponsoring body, as well as global perspectives on education change, promote a cadre of committed and competent senior managers who are capable of taking up the duties of a vice principal in Hong Kong primary schools.
  • Plans to create a training model for other primary vice principals in Hong Kong. ƒÜ
  • Research-based and field-tested performance standards for vice principals of Hong Kong primary schools that can be used for (a) selection and appointment of senior primary teachers to the post of vice principal; (b) developing training programmes for aspiring primary deputy principals; and (c) performance appraisal of primary vice principals. ƒÜ
  • Serving principals involved in the project as tutors can be developed as trainers to provide in-house training to their own teachers. ƒÜ
  • The on-going professional activities (e.g., regular, seminars, professional-sharing meetings, on-line publications, among others) of the Learning Community can also accommodate the needs of the vice principals in other Hong Kong primary schools.
