School leaders worldwide are under increased pressure to apply business approaches
to their schools. For this to work best schools need to have in place solid
defensible educational goals to enhance their educational values which must
be maintained and protected. This book shows how to achieve this by successfully
understanding and translating business strategies which can be applied to people,
places, policies, programs and processes within a school. This practical book
examines the following core subject areas: leadership - shows how business approaches
can be interpreted educationally, human resources - looks at the development
of human potential, management - provides examples of successful management
strategies, change - develops a concept of change based upon 'bettering' educational
experiences, educational theory - applies an educational theory of experience,
human relations - describes how to develop good relationships with staff within
a school, teacher development - presents ways teachers can grow through their
work, total quality - interprets total quality in terms of educational experience.
