PKB-KS was designed as one of the strategies in implementing a guarantee system and improving the quality of school principals. PKB-KS is a mandatory requirement for school principals, therefore, it is necessary to have a forum to participate in/implement Continuing Professional Development.

The method of implementing PKM in the MKKS SLB container in Pesisir Selatan Regency is carried out with participatory and collaborative principles. Bimtek activities consist of 3 stages of activities that are carried out continuously and scheduled according to the plan that has been determined with partners. The implementation of PKM activities is carried out through Technical Guidance (Bimtek) using the simulation method so that school principals become skilled in applying PKB-KS methods in the aspect of carrying out self-development. This method will be applied in all stages of activities to achieve the objectives of the PKM. Based on the results of the evaluation of the activities carried out, it can be said that the PKM activities were successful and ran smoothly. Discussion based on these results TIM believes that the PKM implemented is a breakthrough that can be carried out at the next PKM stage. This belief is based on the learning conditions in the new normal era, which makes school principals have new challenges related to the learning process both online and offline. To be able to carry out these challenges, one of the principals must be able to collaborate in developing their profession. So that with interactive dialogue breakthroughs carried out by the PKM TEAM can provide and increase knowledge and collaboration skills of school principals in self-development.
