Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools have authority to manage their operations independently based on the needs of students. The implementation of school-based management (SBM) encourages the participation of teachers, learners, and parents to improve the quality of education. Delegation of power and authority is regarded to be a significant factor in SBM model that leads to commitment, trust and a sense of ownership. Seeing the importance of the implementation of school-based management, it is inevitable that the schools should be led by principals who understand their new roles and responsibilities under school-based management system. School-based management does not mean to remove the existence of a leader/principal in the school. Under school-based management (SBM):1. Principal has new roles, responsibilities, skills and capacities 2. Principal has potential of applying various leadership styles (transformational, instructional, and visionary leadership) in the context of school-based management.

Download or read book A Decade of Research on School Principals written by Helene Ärlestig and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a unique map of the focus and directions of contemporary research on school leadership since 2000 in 24 countries. Each of these directions has its own particular cultural, educational and policy history. Taken together, the various chapters in the volume provide a rich and varied mosaic of what is currently known and what is yet to be discovered about the roles and practices of principals, and their contributions to the improvement of teaching and the learning and achievement of students. The particular foci and methodological emphases of the research reported illustrate the different phases in the development of educational policies and provision in each country. This collection is an important addition to existing international research that has shown beyond any reasonable doubt that the influence of school principals is second only to that of teachers in their capacity to impact students’ progress and achievement and to promote equity and social justice.

Download or read book Educational Leadership and Learning written by Sue Law and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2000-02-16 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational leaders - whether in schools, colleges or higher education - are challenged with steering unprecedented change; educational management has never been more demanding. Within the context of a new 'learning age' and the Teacher Training Agency's National Standards, this book explores many of the key issues facing those both aspiring to and already involved in leadership and management, whether at middle or senior levels. While focusing particularly on schools and colleges, this book evaluates issues increasingly central to leadership in a variety of professional educational settings, for example, school improvement, innovation, teamwork, organizational culture, professional development, motivation and the nature of leadership. In identifying key concepts, it scrutinizes possible management strategies within a changing policy context that is increasingly focused around standards, accountability and reputation. The book utilizes research evidence to illuminate the practices, challenges and problems facing educationists and endeavours to overcome the perceived gap between practice and research to create an integrated approach to leadership and management development: one which both supports and stimulates managers' professional development aspirations.

Abstract: Abstract This dissertation adopts a qualitative approach to study the perception of six secondary teachers from two schools, with a similar background and history, of leadership in school-based management (SBM) schools. The focus of the research is to explore the views of the teachers on the changes in school administration and the structure of the school under SBM; the challenges, difficulties and skills of principals; and the leadership roles of principals under SBM. The study can supplement the limited number of researches on the roles of principals in SBM schools in Hong Kong and semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain the information. As serving teachers now play increasingly important roles in schools and they work closely with their principals in administrative and educational matters, they can provide invaluable insight into the new roles of principals. My research has uncovered the perceptions of the teachers on leadership and the education reforms in the two schools that I studied. All the teachers confirmed that the roles of principals and senior teachers had changed under SBM and decision making had become a participative activity shared among various stakeholders. Principals and teachers need to trust one another and work collaboratively in an effective manner and schools have to develop their own unique culture. The findings of this study were limited to a description of the perception of six secondary teachers of two Hong Kong schools on the leadership roles of principals as well as some of the challenges and problems their principals encountered. It is hoped that the findings could provide educators and aspiring and practicing principals some insights into other similar situations and cases, thereby assisting the interpretation of the situations. iii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3021754 Subjects: Educational leadership - China - Hong Kong School-based management - China - Hong Kong High school teachers - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes
