MALANG: School Supervisors Need MBE Training
The model of PAKEM teaching has already spread widely and is known to almost all education stakeholders, including primary school and religious school supervisors. Because they feel it is very important the school supervisors asked to be trained specially in School Based Management (SBM), Community Participation and PAKEM. Special training for primary and religious school supervisors was held for 105 people from all 33 sub-districts in Malang district.
Everyone involved was very pleased with both the training itself and the results. The participants enjoyed the MBE approaches to training them: "enjoyable, challenging and user friendly" commented one participant. More impor-tant was the model and content of the training which was very useful and helped them in doing their daily work as schools supervisors in schools, especially in giving professional support to teachers.
SUKOHARJO: PAKEM Training - High Level of Commitment
We should expect a great deal of success in implementing PAKEM teaching in Sukoharjo. This was evident from the PAKEM 2 training which took place from 24 - 29 April 2006. Education stakeholders including teachers, government (Education and Religious Affairs Offices) and the community were present from the beginning right through to the end of the training. With this high level of commitment from stakeholders to developing PAKEM in schools espe-cially in MBE partners schools, good results in the classroom are to be expected.

BANYUMAS: Dissemination Training in Ajibarang
The head of the coordinating committee of junior secondary schools for area IV, Ajibarang, which coordinates the work of schools in several neighboring sub-districts in Banyumas, is very interested in the MBE program and encouraged a number of schools in his area to hold PAKEM training for their teachers.
There were 115 participants from 15 state and private junior secondary schools in Ajibarang, Cilongok, Pekuncen and Gumelar sub-districts. This training included teaching practice in class for all the participants. The teaching practice got a surprisingly good reception both from the participants in the training and from the students where the practical teaching took place.
Training participants tried to implement PAKEM. In some cases this included teaching the students outside the classroom. "Evident-ly learning doesn't always have to take place in the classroom," commented one of the participants.
Indeed the students enjoyed learning outside the classroom. Besides this there were several practical activities which the students enjoyed, including practical lessons in science to discover why objects can float, fly and sink.
In above you can see comments written by one of the students who took part in the practical work.
Blitar Facilitators Training in Ponorogo
"If only we could become MBE partners..." That is the dream of educators in Cluster II which is headed by the school principal of SDN Tanjung Gunung 1 in Ponorogo district. These educators are apparently not just dreaming. Six primary schools in a remote situation on the side of a mountain are working to implement school based management (SBM), community participation and PAKEM.
