Introduction Educational administration has recently witnessed many changes and developments as a natural result of information and communication technology, which imposes on the Ministry of Education and those responsible for training school principals to keep pace with contemporary administrative thinking. The continuous change and rapid development in new technologies or in areas related to education require educational managers to follow the swift changes occurring in societies, including the community served by the school. Therefore, the school principal training system must keep up with these changes to be flexible and adaptable, meeting the needs of the school principal in light of these new trends (Nabat, 1935, 1979). The process of analyzing and determining training needs is one of the most important elements of the training process for school principals, viewed as the foundation for successful and effective training and achieving the main goals of the training process, especially in light of modern transformations in educational and administrative sciences and the pursuit of meeting the requirements of the era and administrative thinking. The leadership role is subject to change and development due to developments in education, making it in need of more training for those occupying this leadership role, provided that it is based on modern leadership principles and concepts to refine the efficiency of school principals and equip them with new tools to help them make sound decisions (Al-Harbi, 2004). Training is of great importance in the professional community at the organizational and individual levels, as it is one of the foundations that help develop competencies, raise productivity levels, improve service quality to clients, and other positive practices, ultimately leading to improved overall performance and increased competitive advantage in the business community. The training process passes through stages that can be represented by a global model called (ADDIE), where the first stage (Analysis) involves analyzing and identifying training needs and is considered the most important stage in training, serving as the foundation upon which the training process is built, and is the focus of our discussion in this packet. The second stage (Design) involves designing the training process, setting training goals, emphasizing training needs, designing a training plan, determining the training method, evaluation tools, and so on. The third stage (Development) involves developing the training process through the final review of training goals, approving the plan, completing the training packages, contracting with training providers, and preparing the necessary tools and technologies. The fourth stage (Implementation) involves executing the training process by registering trainees, following up during training, responding to inquiries, and ensuring the integrity of the training process. Finally, the last stage (Evaluation) involves assessing the stages of the training process and measuring the impact of the training. Analyzing training needs at the organizational level should cover several aspects such as the organizational structure, whether there are plans to modify it in the future, overall performance levels, employee turnover rates, job satisfaction levels, and the emergence of new concepts and variables in the future. At the job level, training needs analysis can be conducted through various methods, including job analysis using tools like questionnaires, personal interviews with job holders, direct observations, and others. Training needs can also be analyzed through job descriptions by breaking down job duties into tasks, then into steps, and identifying the knowledge, skills, and behaviors required for each step, as well as analyzing the requirements for occupying the job and whether new skills and knowledge are emerging. Due to the importance of training needs analysis, we at Maharat Al-Najah have designed this packet, which will cover identifying training needs, methods for determining training needs, elements of training needs analysis, and approaches and barriers to estimating training needs to understand the reasons for the need for training, whether due to performance weakness or for improvement, development, and upgrading to higher positions and enhancing capabilities. Hence, we can say that the process of analyzing and identifying training needs for department heads and educational supervisors is the most significant and critical stage of the training process, and it must be carried out based on correct principles so that the training process becomes an investment rather than a waste of money.

The trainer’s name, Maharat Al-Najah logo, website, and contact numbers must be prominently displayed on the cover (see Appendices – Training Package Covers). The notebooks should be printed and professionally packaged at the organizer’s expense, with the printing cost deducted from the course revenue. Training Program Evaluation and Assessment Methods: 1. Evaluation tools by the trainer and course management: Training is a gap-bridging process, and for the training program to succeed, a system of factors contributes to its success: the trainer, course management, services, training hall, training package, training objectives, trainees, internal and external training environment. The course is evaluated before, during, and after, with a pre-course meeting to confirm training needs, understand trainees’ and training organization’s goals, review the training program, and assign tasks (see Appendices – Pre-Training Meeting Evaluation). A daily meeting is held after the end of each training day, 15 minutes before, lasting 30 minutes, including the trainer, training team, and course manager, to review the training day’s program and discuss improvement methods for the next day (see Appendices – Daily Training Evaluation Meeting). A final evaluation meeting is held after the course ends, lasting one hour, to assess the overall program and include recommendations for improvement when the program is presented again (see Appendices – Final Evaluation Meeting). Initial evaluation relies on expectation charts and trainee experience forms (see Appendices – Expectation Chart and Trainee Experience Form), filled out by participants before the program begins. During and after the program, evaluation depends on observation, measurement, daily trainee evaluation forms, and a evaluation board. 2. Evaluation tools by trainees: a. Experience forms (see Appendices – Expectation Chart and Trainee Experience Form) b. Daily and final evaluation forms (see Appendices – Training Program Evaluation Form) c. Daily evaluation board (see Appendices – Daily Evaluation Board) d. Suggestion box (see Appendices – Suggestion Box) These evaluation tools are periodically reviewed and analyzed using Excel daily (see Appendices – Evaluation Form Analysis). Conditions for Passing Any Training Program: To receive a certificate of completion, the participant must: - Attend at least 90% of the training hours. - Actively participate in all training activities. - Pass the training assessments designed by the trainer. Regulations to Follow During Training Organization: 1. The trainer is the team leader in the training program and acts as the team leader, with the right to request everyone to increase effort and contribution. 2. The course coordinator or manager must hold a briefing session with the trainer at least one day before the program begins, explaining participant backgrounds, training needs, main issues faced, and their social, religious, and cultural backgrounds. 3. A daily end-of-day session is held to evaluate each training day, involving the trainer, course manager, and coordinator, to review trainee and trainer feedback and improve the course. 4. Smoking inside the training hall, corridors, or bathrooms is strictly prohibited, especially for the administrative, marketing, and training team. 5. All training, administrative, and marketing team members must respect prayer times, perform prayers in congregation with trainees, and not delay or interrupt prayer times. 6.
