Hi Coleagues
I am in Gauteng and thus may not directly answering your question. However I know few principals in Gauteng who are part of the ACE programme as well, I can provide the link to some of them via this forum to discuss and share with you their expirience from this side. Further to this there are groups of principlas in one district I know who hold at least one meeting a month and share the ACE and other strategic information in school management. I believe that if this process can start in a district just with a few principals, it will have a greater impact than a formally arranged departmental process. Peers sharing thier expiriences and learning from another is more greater than any class of theory.
