School Management
In this first unit we introduce some perspectives on management and examine a number of key management concepts and principles. Green Tree Play School believe that a deeper understanding of the nature of educational management will enable you to improve your practice as a school manager.
Management can mean different things to different people at different times, and a variety of definitions have been offered. The term ‘management’ itself, derives from the verb ‘to manage’, which can mean:
- to handle
- to control
- to make and keep submissive
- to organise
- to alter by manipulation
- to carry out for a purpose.
