KREASI Ketapang organized a training titled “Evaluation of School and Teacher Performance with a Focus on Teaching Practices, Curriculum, and Classroom-Based Assessment” on 10–11 November 2025.
The activity was attended by 31 participants from various sub-districts, consisting of teachers and school supervisors across Ketapang . The training became an important momentum as it was directly attended by the newly appointed Head of the Teacher and Education Personnel Center (BGTK) of Kalimantan Barat, Eka Khristiyanto Purnama.
In his remarks, Eka stressed that evaluation must become a culture of correction that drives improvements in education quality.
“Do not be worried about a red report. That is exactly what we should focus on in our work. Evaluation is not merely about assessment, but a corrective step to improve the quality of teachers and principals,” said Eka Khristiyanto Purnama.
Eka also emphasized the importance of Ki Hajar Dewantara’s philosophy as the foundation of educational leadership: Ing Ngarso Sung Tulada, Ing Madyo Mangun Karso, Tut Wuri Handayani. He invited supervisors and teachers to become role models, build enthusiasm, and provide encouragement for the professional development of educators.
Over the two days of training, participants explored a range of topics such as teacher performance management policies, evaluation instruments, classroom-based assessment, and simulations of academic supervision coaching. A resource person from BGTK Kalimantan Barat, Lies Indrawati, underlined the importance of reflection and follow-up so that the theories gained can truly be implemented in teaching practice.
“Teachers and principals are the main actors in performance management. Through reflection and follow-up, the quality of learning can be improved,” explained Lies Indrawati.
Interestingly, the training also integrated literacy, numeracy, and character education. Participants were divided into groups to analyze school subjects and design authentic assessment practices rooted in everyday life.
As a follow-up, the training recommended expanding the involvement of supervisors from various regions to ensure equal access to knowledge and comprehensive competency improvement across Kalimantan Barat.
