Download or read book Local Management of Schools written by Ernie Cave and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-05 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The provisions of the 1988 Education Reform Act have given many schools the turnover and responsibilities of a medium-sized business. The Act is certainly the most important educational legislation since 1944 and local management is the key issue, requiring schools to undertake specialist functions, such as budgetting and marketing, never tackled before at the institutional level. This book introduces some of the practical issues associated with planning and implementing new functions now being devolved to school level. It will enable schools to focus on the implications of the Act and the issues it presents. It stresses the need for the whole school to meet the challenge. Each chapter looks at a different issue, including:* resource management * financial management * budgetary preparation * performance measurement * the uses of information technology * marketing and the school * the legal context * personnel management and staff selection * time management and priority setting. The book does aim to be a practical manual on local management but to provide a clear-thinking and sympathetic discussion of the urgent practical issues now facing all schools. It will be invaluable to all involved in educational management, whether in schools, local authorities, training organisations or academic life.

Download or read book A Guide to Managing and Leading School Operations written by Jerome Cranston and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The job of school leader has become progressively more demanding. The role includes increasingly complex problems to be solved and increasingly deep piles of paperwork to complete. Unfortunately, the managing of employees, the preparing and justifying of resource – both personnel and financial - projections, and the complexities involved in operating facilities safely and legally are the most frequently mentioned reasons for why school leaders begin to question their career choice. And, while faculties and colleges of education as well as principals’ professional associations offer courses and workshops, very few adequately address the gaps that exist between theory and practice in a way that would mitigate this reticence to lead in this climate. A Principled Guide to Managing and Leading School Operations fills a gap in the training of educational leaders by orienting them to the vitally important business operations required to run a school. This book therefore is for all school leaders who wish they had been given a school operations field manual, and it is for those who prepare them who might wish to rebalance anew the current propensity of principal preparation programs that blindly privilege leadership identity over developing the requisite management acumen teachers, parents and the public expect.

Download or read book School Site Management and School Restructuring written by Grover Henry Baldwin and published by Education Law Association. This book was released on 1993 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Included in calls for change during the school reform of the 1980s were demands that teachers be given more control over education in the classroom. Such calls have led to the propagation of changes in the schools that allow teachers to take the lead in education, with school management being left to administrators. These changes create legal questions about the roles of school boards, administrators, and states in governing schools, management prerogatives, and the role of parents in education. This report addresses school-site management and newer reform issues, reviews important court decisions, and projects future areas of legal concern to teachers and administrators. Because education is a state responsibility, local school districts must obtain permission from the state to develop school-site management plans. In addition, local school boards may not, without the permission of the state legislature, give administrators or school boards unlimited authority to run schools. However, school boards are the arbiters of disputes over control of school reform and represent the community. Following an introduction, the monograph's five core chapters focus on educational governance and school-site management, school-site management and school-restructuring issues, administrators and restructuring efforts, professional staff and restructuring efforts, and student rights and school choice. Conclusions and implications are offered in a final chapter. A table of cases is included. (Contains 25 references.) (JPT)
