Effective school management requires that a school's human, physical and financial resources be managed in an integrated manner towards the ultimate goal of effective teaching and successful learning - an enormous task in today's ever-changing environment. The effective management of a school: towards quality outcomes is about finding coherence between these leadership dimensions in a decentralised school-based management setting.
The effective management of a school: towards quality outcomes takes a strategic view of the key aspects of school management while guiding school managers to discover their own unique identities through advancement, development and enrichment. A team of highly experienced authors from a range of South African higher institutions have contributed their expertise and guidance.
