School-based Management

This booklet is about «school-based management» – a field that has become a very popular movement over the past decade. But what exactly is school-based management? The booklet addresses these questions by bringing forward a set of propositions about school-based management – and then seeking to clarify these on the basis of research and accumulated professional experience. The main objective of the discussion has been to provide senior-decision makers with sound foundation knowledge about the key concepts and related research in this area so that they can engage in informed debate on whether or not school-based management has been a “success” – or whether it is just another passing fashion in the field of educational administration.
