Description

This course provides a systematic study of the theory and practice of School Based Management (SBM), its background and its most important features. However, the major focus of the course is normative and analytical rather than descriptive. Thus, it will be primarily concerned with suggesting ways in which SBM may be interpreted and applied so as to bring about improvement in schools, particularly the improvement of siudent learning omtcomes. Central to this focus is the policy framework of school and professional autonomy in the context of broader requirements for accountability. The course also examines the nature of leadership within this framework.
