Description
How important is school culture? Very important, but to have an effective school culture, a key component is effective and inclusive decision making skills. Herman and Herman explore how site-based management that includes input from administrators, teachers, concerned citizens, local government agencies, and business and industry leaders can increase support for your school and its mission. Includes methods for establishing site-base management programs that gather input from the community to stimulate ownership of the school. Thought provoking case studies and chapter exercises are included to trigger discussions.
