Lesson 9. - APPLICATION

SBM is a strategy that transfers decision-making authority from education offices to individual schools, giving principals, teachers, parents, and students control over education planning, personnel, curriculum, and policies. This can create more effective learning environments but also comes with disadvantages like increased workload and accountability challenges. The document provides examples of how a school head could apply SBM principles to address issues like litter, bullying, and student motivation through involving stakeholders in decision-making.

Lesson 9: THE SCHOOL HEAD IN

SCHOOL-BASED MANAGEMENT
(SBM)
APPLICATION – Let’s Apply

1. Form 4 groups. Each group will do a PowerPoint presentation to explain one of the ff:
1) meaning,
2) advantages,
3}disadvantages and
4) demands of SBM.
1. sbm is a strategy to improve education. By transferring significant decision-making authority
from education offices to individual schools. SBM provides principals, teachers, students, and
parents control over the education process by giving them responsibility for decisions about the
planning, personnel, curriculum and action in school. Through the involvement of school
community members in these key decisions, SBM can create more effective learning
environments for students. an SBM system, authority can transfer from the state government to
school boards, from school boards to superintendents, from superintendents to principals, from
principals to other members of the school community such as teachers and parents, or some
combination of two or more of these. Not only are there variations about how SBM is practiced,
but schools and districts implementing SBM vary widely in what decisions are distributed.
2. 3 more effective educational delivery - This view, in part, reflects the business concept of total
quality management, according to which decisions made close to the actual product will produce
a better result.
4 improved communication – between stakeholders, facilitating principals’ awareness of teacher
and parent concerns.
5greater accountability - teachers to students, parents, and local communities
6 transparent, - reducing opportunities for corruption.

8 high levels of professionalism
9 improved student retention and learning. –
10 benefit the community - parents and other stakeholders in shared decision making,
interpersonal skills, and management skills
11 inexpensive

3. disadvantage
Some of the problems that SBM stakeholders might encounter include more work for
stakeholders, less efficiency, uneven school performance, an increased need for staff
development, confusion about new roles and responsibilities, and coordination difficulties
(Prasch 1990). Another problem is accountability. A school may want authority over decisions,
but the public (and state statutes) will still hold the school board accountable for the results of
those decisions. State and district policies may also require school board and district
involvement. SBM is a "complex undertaking, raising multiple policy issues involving lines of
authority for making decisions and responsibility and accountability for the consequences of
such decisions," warns the National School Boards Association (NSBA) (1994). Barriers that
may prevent SBM from being implemented successfully include lack of knowledge by
stakeholders of what SBM is and how it works; lack of decision-making skills, communication,
and trust among stakeholders; statutes, regulations, and union contracts that restrict decision-
making authority and teachers' time involvement; and the reluctance of some administrators and
teachers to allow others to take over decision-making authority.

address the following problems:
1) litter in the school grounds and classroom,
