Professional Development for Leaders and Managers of Self-Governing Schools

Více o knize

The book explores the shift in school governance, emphasizing the transition to self-governing schools (SGS) where decision-making authority is redistributed to a school council or board. This reform alters the traditional hierarchical structure, positioning the principal as a partner rather than the sole authority. The principal, now an ex-officio member of the governing body, collaborates with stakeholders in a democratic framework. The governing body emerges as the central power, holding legal authority over the school's mission, policies, and resources, marking a significant change in educational management.
