Course 7
Leading School Administration
Introduction
This key area is a critical component of the school leadership development curriculum and includes themes such as the knowledge and application of administrative and financial rules, management of physical and human resources in school and using data for school improvement. The curriculum believes that being an effective administrator is an essential part of being an effective leader. A school head must possess the right knowledge of rules and regulations, develop critical decision-making skills and have a practical knowledge of ICT to be able to lead and collaboratively plan for school development. This gain in knowledge and skills can make the school head more confident of executing administrative tasks with ease as well as take initiatives that lie beyond the scope of daily routine, thereby emerging as a school leader. The present course, however, focuses on understanding the use of data for decision-making which is useful for improving both student learning outcomes and teaching practices.
