Schools need leaders with a vision for improving the school’s learning environment within a well-functioning school-based management. School management involves setting school directions concerning students, teacher development, and allocation of material and financial resources. Effective school management impacts motivation, commitment, and student and teacher success by: facilitating school leadership that is both appropriate to the unique context and needs of the school community, developing and implementing school improvement plans, establishing fair and effective teacher appraisal systems, structuring classrooms and schools according to school needs, building partnerships with the community, and ensuring that frameworks exist to support the functions of other school departments and personnel. Effective school managers design a school improvement process to guide their work.
