	Planning, enforcing and managing school-based in-service training is conducted through the training committee institution. The training committee promotes the in-service training as its core management task. Since the school-based in-service training is a part of school management plan, principles of management and education propounded by the school principal should be reflected. The teacher appointed as head of training leads the training committee, and promotes in-services training. The school head of training needs to have leadership skills to organize and implement school training plans based on the goals of the school principal. The organization and leadership ability of the head of training is critical in in-service training management. When it is necessary, visiting lecturers such as head of guidance of board of education, teachers of other schools, or researchers are invited to in-service training to get advice from them.
