Three of Cayman’s educators were recently recognised for outstanding achievement when the Education Ministry presented them with awards for successfully completing the National Education Leadership Programme (NELP).
The NELP programme places rigorous demands on participants and this year’s successful trio were all that remained of the original eighteen who entered on the course two years ago.
Education Ministry Chief Officer and Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Angela Martins MBE, JP, who presented the awards said: ‘We are tremendously proud of the achievements of these three professionals, who have demonstrated exceptional determination and ability by successfully completing the NELP.’
The three proud recipients of the NELP award were, Allison Wallace, Deputy Principal, Red Bay Primary School; Deborah Chaves-Thompson, Principal, Montessori-by-the-Sea; and Lyneth Monteith, School Leader of Leading Edge High School on the George Hicks Campus in George Town.
Mrs. Monteith said: ‘I have learned a great deal through NELP about best practices in effective school management.
‘The course also introduces you to a lot of good ideas and really makes you think about the approach you take to leadership and delivering the needs of your students.’
The NELP programme, which started in 2003, was developed specifically for the Cayman Islands and has to date been administered by the Education Standards and Assessment Unit, the government body responsible for conducting independent evaluations of Cayman’s public and private schools.
