Opis

The success of a school depends on the manner in which it is managed. The need for efficient management of school has placed much more emphasis on the nature and quality of the work of the head as the leader of a team of professional educators as well as a manager of the supply and effective use of resources. According to Campbell and Corbelly (1983) the leader need to gain clear understanding of all the fines and factors, which contributes towards the governance of the school.To ensure effective and successful management, the school heads must not only be innovative, resourceful and dynamic, but also able to interact well with people both within and outside the school. Staff and pupils, parents, members of the parents - teachers association and many other members of the community all of whom need to be brought in some way another into decision making process.

O autorze

Working as a Senior principal of a high school for 15 years provided a challenging experience in managment. I learnt most of the managerial skills on the job as well as from other principals. On pursuing a Masters degree in business administration at Kenyatta University, I focused on management practices in schools to highlight best practices.
