This study utilized a leadership style inventory, school climate assessment inventory, and interviews with principals and teachers. Teachers and principals volunteered to participate in this study. Findings from this study suggest that principals who possess a philosophy of servant leadership and utilize its practices have a positive impact on school climate and student achievement. Data derived from a school climate assessment, leadership inventory, and teacher and principal interviews reflected a positive relationship between the servant style of leadership and a school's climate and student achievement as measured by the PSSA. Specific components of leadership were cited as most effective in this study. Teacher perceptions of effective leadership practices included the ability to be approachable, fair, and consistent. Principals cited the ability to be open and have honest communication. Further, the principals found it was essential to support the needs of teachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1989. The pursuit of excellence is much discussed with reference to education, but the question remains, ’How can a school become excellent?’ This book demonstrates that excellence depends on good management which, in turn, depends not only on a clear understanding of good management theory, but on the ability to translate theory into practice. The authors offer profound insights into three crucial areas of leadership: culture, structure, and public accountability. Drawing on areas outside education, such as advertising and business, they discuss many innovations that are already current - flexitime, the vertical curriculum, mastery learning, community support - and depict ways in which these can be brought together into a total educational experience. More strikingly, however, they look ahead, examining the potential changes to our concept of schooling: for instance those brought about by the growth of information technology. This book emphasises that at the heart of outstanding schooling are visionary leadership, a clear sense of purpose, and creatively conceived and flexible support structures.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing body of research that indicates that effective management of school resources influences learning and teaching (Chiu & Khoo, 2005; Murtin, 2013). Arguably, schools with better management tend to have better performance on a wide range of dimensions; they are more productive, grow faster and achieve better academic achievement result (Williams, Kirst & Haertel, 2005). It is, therefore, crucial to have effective leaders who will manage the education system towards national goals. According to the Department of Basic Education (2016), all learners have the right to have access to relevant and meaningful learning experiences and opportunities. Further to this, the school community has the right to a safe and secure learning environment, otherwise known as good school climate (Kelley, Thornton & Daugherty, 2005). This brings about the importance of the principals of the school who have the responsibility for resource management and the effectiveness of learning in the school. The study on the impact of the principals0́9 management practices on school climate of public secondary schools in Pretoria is important to understand how to improve the standard of education in South Africa. Relatively little previous research has investigated the mechanisms by which a principal0́9s management practices pose an effect on the school climate. The current study examined the impact of the principal0́9s management practices on the school climate by sampling teachers and non-teaching staffs from three schools in Pretoria, Gauteng province. The school climate was measured with the three sub-scale of organisational climate index (collegial leadership, professional and principal0́9s leadership). Survey data was obtained from school teachers to measure the staff0́9s perception of their principal0́9s management practices. This study reveals the effect of the management practices of principals in motivating teachers to perform, remain loyal to their schools and support the principals even when it seems there are several challenges. On the other hand, the management practices of principals create context and some positive school climates for teachers working in these schools.
