In her material, Ririn Dwi Utami stated that a proactive teacher is the leader of the learning process who encourages their student’s development holistically, actively, and proactively.
“This (step) aims to develop the education through student-centered learning, to be an example, and to be an agent of transformation for the educational ecosystem in achieving Profil Pelajar Pancasila,” she explained.
She added that the proactive teacher program aims to create a new paradigm for education leaders in Indonesia. Four components could be emphasized from this objective.
“First, the student-centered paradigm. Then encourage a holistic education and become a coach or mentor for other teachers. Lastly, to be an example and agent of transformation for the educational ecosystem,” Ririn added.
Siti Samsiyah, S.Pd., M.Pd., explained that a proactive school is a school that is focused on the development of students’ learning outcomes holistically by achieving Profil Pelajar Pancasila, including competencies and characters of leading human resources, both the headmaster and the teachers.
“The last depiction of the proactive school includes learning outcomes above the expected level. Followed by a safe, comfortable, inclusive, and exciting learning environment that focuses on students. The proactive school program will accelerate all stages to move one to two steps forwards in three years,” Siti explained.
A proactive school program consists of five interrelated and inseparable interventions: consultative and asymmetric assistance, school human resources strengthening, learning under a new paradigm, data-based planning, and school digitization. Humas UNS
