Pautas para Organizar Una Actividad de Capacitacion: Un Seminario-Taller para el Desarrollo de Personal de Direccion de Sistemas Educativos (Guidelines to Organize a Training Activity: A Workshop for Management Development of Educational Systems).

Often personnel performing managerial functions within educational systems are educators with almost no training in management. This paper presents ideas on how to organize a training activity intended to develop management knowledge and skills among educational systems officials and to implement an organizational self-study on management problems. The paper begins with a conceptual introduction to management development. A detailed description of a proposed workshop covers the following topics: objectives, methodology, general content, material aids, kind of participants, time, place, program, facilitators, expected outcomes, evaluation, and a basic bibliography. Sessions to be carried out during the workshop are described. The possible short-term effects of the activity on organizational performance are noted. The paper also includes a chart of the suggested programming, exercises on determining organizational objectives, a model of the "so-called" management guide, guidelines to make an inventory of management problems, and a matrix to locate tasks and responsibilities of a managerial team.
