SIW Head coach
A SIW school must have a pedagogical coordinator who is responsible for the learning, conduct, and results by applying the method. Besides knowing the method and how to apply it, they must know how to guide the team. To be able to do this, he must have some tools that facilitate the control of learning, as well as the sequence of contents covered and problems existing in each class. These tools allow a general and at the same time detailed supervision of all the students in each class even without being present. It is necessary not only to know how to use and evaluate the tools we provide, but also to be available to help your team with the difficulties presented in meeting the objectives. Your activity is not only about control but also about the homogeneous planning of events. These events aim to mark something special at school with objectives and content adjusted to the methodology, the location and the learning stage of the students. A Coordinator is a mirror of the educators.
