The constantly changing education landscape demands
educators who will deliver learners to a South African society worthy of the
highest ideals, learners who will, as
adults, fulfil their life roles as citizens and as productive, well-adjusted
human beings. By acquiring the necessary management and leadership knowledge
and skills, educators will be able to realise the ideal of building an
education system that focuses on excellence, a system that is accessible to all
and promotes the development of those entrusted to them. An educator’s
guide to school management-leadership skills focuses on bringing education manager-leaders practical and school-based directives
so that they can deliver quality education to our nation’s learners.
An educator’s guide to school management-leadership
skills takes a holistic and
integrated approach, set against the backdrop of international successes such
as Finland’s road to education transformation according to the PISA tests. It
focuses on the following:
• Developing excellence in
schools
• Management-leadership tasks
in complex school environments
• Managing and leading human
resources
• Managing and leading
financial, administrative and ICT matters in education
An educator’s guide to school management-leadership
skills is aimed at students and practitioners in the field of
education.
