EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
LESSON PROPER:
Increasingly, children from different cultures are interacting with each other, thus
presenting parents and educators with unique opportunities for further understanding across
cultures. Given these circumstances, is it any wonder that our classrooms have become the
focus of efforts to achieve such understanding? The old cliché that the school reaches all
children of all people is as true today as it ever was. Helping children of various cultures to
achieve as fully as possible, while simultaneously adapting to each other, demands innovate
strategies on the part of the parent, teachers, and administrations.
1. Inclusive content in the curriculum that reflects the diversity of society. In effect,
students from diverse backgrounds see themselves and their experiences in the curriculum.
3. The idea that culture is central to student learning, because there is strong
evidence that culture practices affect the thinking process.
3. Teacher as facilitator
5. Culturally sensitivity
Effective teachers accept and value their students as human beings. This is true for
all students, but it is particularly important for cultural and ethnic minorities who may feel
some form of alienation from school. This is amplified when teachers communicate that all
students can learn and are expected to do so.
If the teacher understands about the students cultures he/she may use them to
develop students personal pride of their own cultures. He/She could develop and create a
learning environment that meets the emotional needs of different cultural groups.
TASK: 1 TRUE/FALSE
_____3. The idea that culture is central to student learning because there is strong
evidences that culture practices affect the thinking process.
_____7.Efficient teachers accept and value their students are as human beings.
1. Identified and understand the factors that affect the teaching and learning
process.
LESSON PROPER:
1. Intellectual factor
The term refers to the individual mental level. Success in school is generally closely
related to level of the intellect. Pupils with low intelligence often encounter serious difficulty
in mastering schoolwork. Sometimes pupils do not learn because of special intellectual
disabilities. A low score in one subject and his scores in other subjects indicate the possible
presence of a special deficiency. Psychology reveals to use that an individual possess
different kinds to intelligence. Knowledge of the nature of the pupil’s intellect is of
considerable value in the guidance and the diagnosis of disability.
2. Learning factor
Factors owing to lack of mastery of what has been taught, faulty methods of work or
study, and narrowness of experimental background may affect the learning process of any
pupil. If the school proceeds too rapidly and does not constantly check up on the extent to
which the pupil is mastering what is being taught, the pupil accumulates a number of
deficiencies that interfere with successful progress. Weakness in addition will contribute
directly to the deficiency in multiplica¬tion. Likewise, failure in history may be due to low
The Teacher and the Community, School Culture and Leadership 10
reading ability or weakness in English. Similarly, because of faulty instruction, the pupil may
have learned inefficient methods of study. Many other kinds of difficulty which are directly
related to learning factors may interfere with progress.
3. Physical factor
Under this group are included such factors as health, physical development, nutrition,
visual and physical defects, and glandular abnormality. It is generally recognized that ill
health retards physical and motor develop¬ment, and malnutrition interferes with learning
and physical growth. Children suffering from visual, auditory, and other physical defects are
seriously handicapped in developing skills such as reading and spelling. It has been
demonstrated that various glands of internal secretion, such as the thyroid and pituitary
glands, affect behavior. The health of the learner will likely affect his ability to learn and his
power to concentrate.
4. Mental factor
Attitude falls under mental factors attitudes are made up of organic and kinesthetic
elements. They are not to be confused with emotions that are character¬ized by internal
visceral disturbances. Attitudes are more or less of definite sort. They play a large part in the
mental organization and general behavior of the individual. Attitudes are also important in
the development of personality. Among these attitudes interest, cheerfulness, affection,
prejudice, -open mindedness, and loyalty. Attitudes exercise a stimulating effect upon the
rate of learning and teaching and upon the progress in school. The efficiency of the work
from day to day and the rapidity with which it is achieved are influenced by the attitude of
the learner. A favorable mental attitude facilitates learning. The factor of interest is very
closely related in nature to that of symbolic drive and reward.
Personal factors, such as instincts and emotions, and social factors, such as
cooperation and rivalry, are directly related to a complex psychology of motivation. It is a
recognized fact that the various responses of the individual to various kinds of stimuli are
determined by a wide variety of tendencies. Some of these innate tendencies are
constructive and others are harmful. For some reason a pupil may have developed a dislike
for some subject because he may fail to see its value, or may lack foundation. This dislike
results in a bad emotional state. Some pupils are in a continuing state of unhappiness
because of their fear of being victims of the disapproval of their teachers and classmates.
This is an unwholesome attitude and affects the learning process to a considerable degree.
6. Teacher’s Personality
Physical conditions needed for learning is under environmental factor. One of the
factors that affect the efficiency of learning is the condition in which learning takes place.
This includes the classrooms, textbooks, equipment, school supplies, and other instructional
materials.
In the school and at the home, the conditions for learning must be favorable
and adequate if teaching is to produce the desired results. It cannot be denied that the type
and quality of instructional materials and equipment play an important part in the
instructional efficiency of the school. It is difficult to do a good job of teaching in a poor type
of building and without adequate equipment and instructional materials. A school building or
a classroom has no merit when built without due regard to its educational objectives and
functions.

LESSON PROPER:
2. Take responsibility for your students' academic achievement and share your data
with colleagues.
3. Take risks
It is easy for faculties to become complacent, especially when the status quo
is adequate. Try something new in your classroom, and let your colleagues know how it
goes. If a new activity or strategy bombs, scrap it... or tweak it, but share your experiences
and move on. Your courage and your transparency will inspire other teachers to break out of
their own ruts. Innovation thrives in schools where teachers are free to fail.
4. Be patient with the knuckleheads and never lose sight of your purpose.
Most teachers have some challenging students at some point during the day.
It can be tempting for teachers to complain about them in the lounge, at the lunch table, in
the hallways, or even at faculty meetings. You teach the knuckleheads too, but you give
them the benefit of the doubt. You show empathy, you understand that the inappropriate
behaviors are a manifestation of dysfunctional circumstances outside of school that no kid
should have to deal with. Your attitude toward the toughest students will not go unnoticed
by other teachers. It is usually the case that the most difficult kids need the most TLC. Your
patience with these kids reminds other teachers what's really important making a difference
in the lives of kids.
We all have tough days, and some circumstances seem to conspire to destroy
the morale of the faculty. Smile, remain optimistic, and figure out a way to remind your
colleagues "the glass is half full." Optimism is contagious. The positive energy you bring to
work each day will lift the spirits of those around you. Your commitment to maintaining a
positive outlook will generate positive energy in the building that can make the naysayers
irrelevant.
LESSON PROPER:
Each student is exposed to competing subcultures and must determine which seems
most in line with his or her feeling and interest. Here are the four distinctive subculture
among college students.

INTRODUCTION
The learning process that utilized in peace education is holistic and it tries to address the
cognitive, affective and active dimensions of the learners. A usual procedure includes the
introduction of relevant new knowledge, posing, valuing questions and using discussions and
other participatory methods to cultivate concern and eliciting/challenging/encouraging
appropriate and social action. Peace education or an education that promotes a culture of
peace, is essentially transformative. It cultivates the knowledge behaviors that, in the first
place, have either created or exacerbated violent conflicts. It seeks this transformative by
building awareness and understanding, developing concern, and finally, challenging personal
and social that will enable people to create conditions and systems that actualize
nonviolence, justice, environmental care and other peace values.

I. INTRODUCTION
Gender and Development is an inter disciplinary field of research and applied study that
implements feminist approach to understanding and addressing the desperate impact that
economic development and globalization have on people based upon their location, gender,
class, background ,and other socio-political identities. There are also theories related to
Gender and Development which are intended to explain how was one's gender changes
over a period of time. These theories include factors that cause a certain gender to evolve
aligned or not with an expectations of oneself into an assigned sex. Gender roles will also
be tackle as we go through of our lessons, that will surely shown the expected roles of men
and women in the society in which they are belong. In addition Gender law and policies will
be included in the next lesson, that will promote awareness about the reality in the context
in which we stepped in.
Theories are sets of ideas or concepts that are intended to explain a certain phenomenon.
These are theories related to
Gender and Development:
1. PSYCHODYNAMIC
THEORY It is an approach to
psychology that emphasizes
systematic study of the
psychological forces that underlie
human behavior, feelings, and emotions
and how they might relate to early
experience.
2. SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONALISM
THEORY It is a sociological theory that
develops from practical considerations and
alludes to people's particular utilization of
dialect to make images and normal
implications , for deduction and
correspondence with others.
4. COGNITIVE LEARNING THEORY It is a broad theory that explains thinking and differing
mental processes and how they are
influenced by internal and external
factors in order to produce learning in
individuals.
5. STANDPOINT THEORY It is
concerns with various levels of
people's perceptions. For instance
people have similarity in their opinion depending on their demography and it concerns
mostly of general issues.
I. INTRODUCTION
Roles are common among us. It is nature to humankind to play roles as a basic

I. INTRODUCTION
Equality between men and women is one of the fundamental principles of the EU,
and the principle of gender equality is been reinforced with legation ,both generic and
specific , obliging Member States to ensure equal treatment for men and women , and to
combat any form of discrimination on the grounds of gender .
2. Applied the concept of gender equality and gender equity into real life situation.
European institutions have often been the first one to approve such laws about
gender and have proved model for Member states. In addition, while national laws may be
generally quite advanced with reference to right recognition and gender issues, their
application may meet practical and cultural obstacles.
*GENDER EQUALITY
It refers to the equal rights ,responsibilities and opportunities of women ,men ,girls,
boys.
It means fairness of treatment for women and men, according to their respective

in terms of rights, benefits,
obligations and opportunities.
*GENDER MAINSTREAMING
*WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT
It refers to the process of women gaining power and control over their own lives.
TASK 13: Write an essay about the difference between gender equality
and gender equity.
Introduction
Today, we live in an age of lightning fast information transfer. One consequence of this is
the ever increasing demand on
education to help all learners acquire
higher level skills that allow them to
more readily analyze, make decisions,
and solve complex "real world"
problems. Technology has allowed
individuals to obtain, assemble,
analyze and communicate information
in more detail at a much faster pace
than ever before. Globalisation is the
process by which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected as a result of massively
increased trade and cultural exchange.

Learning Targets:
Introduction
Globalization, changing demographics and technological advancement are some key driving
forces of the future. Our students will have to be prepared to face these challenges and
seize the opportunities brought about by these forces. To help our students thrive in a fast
changing world, MOE has identified competencies that have become increasingly important
in the 21st century. These competencies represented in the following framework, underpin
the holistic education that our schools provide to better prepare our students for the future.
It is and envisaged that schools and parents need to work hand in hand to help our students
develop these 21st century competencies.
English, Reading or language arts- comprehensive literary program meant to build strong
communication skills. English and language arts are two of the most basic and widely taught
subjects in United States schools. The American National Council of Teachers of English
External link separates English and language arts into five basic categories: reading, writing,
speaking, listening and viewing.
In elementary school, language arts classes focus on basic reading, writing and linguistic /
communication skills. Periods of silent sustained reading, cursive writing, syntax, thematic
writing and vocabulary are all major focal points of elementary lessons. Through these
exercises, children are expected to develop reading and writing skills at an early age.
The Teacher and the Community, School Culture and Leadership 26
In middle school, the English curriculum evolves and expands to include more complicated
reading comprehension, such as fiction, poetry and essays. In addition, grammar and
semantics become a focal point of lessons, and students begin to foster writing skills that
encompass poetry, expository writing and creative writing. Students in middle school are
expected to expand vocabularies and develop a mature grasp of the five categories of
language arts.
High school students take mandatory English classes in which they are expected to develop
analytical skills. Classes generally revolve around reading novels, essays and other forms of
literature, and require students to analyze, interpret and dissect written material in order to
compare, contrast and discuss elements, like theme, characters and plot. Proficient writing
skills are necessary at this point as these discussions of literature typically manifest in the
form of an essay or research paper. High school English is a comprehensive study,
combining the five skills of language arts in order to understand literature and its value.
English is also a crucial component of college preparation, getting students ready for the
extensive research and analytical skills they will be expected to utilize throughout their
college careers.
World languages- spoken internationally and learned by a huge number of people and as
second language. It may be surprising but it is very difficult question to answer. First of all,
there are languages in some parts of the world that have not yet been studied such as in
Papua New Guinea and the Amazon. Secondly, there are no clear-cut criteria for deciding
what constitutes a separate language and what constitutes a dialect of a language because
purely linguistic considerations can often compete with issues of statehood, culture, writing
systems, political and economic power. For example, Chinese varieties such as Mandarin,
Cantonese, Wu, and Hakka are as less mutually intelligible than are Spanish, French, Italian,
and Portuguese. Yet the former are considered to be dialects of Chinese, while the latter are
considered to be separate languages. Why is that? The answer is that the Chinese varieties
are primarily spoken within a single nation, while the latter are spoken in different countries.
Hindi and Urdu are almost identical, yet considered to be different languages because they
are associated with different countries (India and Pakistan), religious beliefs (Hindu and
Moslem), and different writing systems (Devanagari and Arabic). However, before Pakistan
became independent from India in 1947, Hindi and Urdu were considered a single language
called Hindustani. Serbo-Croatian was considered to be a single language with several
dialects: Orthodox Serbs used the Cyrillic alphabet, Catholic Croats used the Latin alphabet,
and Muslim Bosnians used both alphabets. After the breakup of Yugoslavia in 2001, these
three varieties are now officially listed as three separate languages.
Arts- refers to the theory and physical expression of creativity found in human societies and
culture. Arts is a broad academic field under which scholars study numerous types of human
interactions, using methods that are largely analytical, critical or exploratory. Arts courses
contain something explicit to explore in itself. As it serves several disciplines where human
beings and society focus on various types of studies. Arts courses are also referred to
Integrated Arts which states this stream as the study of these arts courses subjects. Art is a
common word for every individual in the world. Art is a diverse range of one’s activities. Arts
is a human expression influenced by the culture and driven by human impulses. It can be
characterised as visual arts, literary arts, performing arts, decorative art and tangible arts.
Arts courses are commonly referred to a popular course option selected by candidates after
Class 12th. Although there is a perception that only weak learners opt for arts courses after
12th , this is far from the truth. Contrary to this perception there are a lot of career
opportunities available for art graduates right after their graduation. This domain covers a
wide array of subjects and the key among which include: History, Languages, Literature,
Law, Philosophy, Religion, Performing Arts, Anthropology, Communication, Sociology,
Psychology.
Mathematics- study of topics such as quantity, structure, space and change. For more than
two thousand years, mathematics has been a part of the human search for understanding.
Economics- science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and
scarce means which have alternative uses. Economics is about making choices. We make all
kinds of choices every day. How much should I spend on gas? What’s the best route to
work? Where should we go for dinner? Which job or career should I go for? What are the
pros and cons of finishing college versus taking a job or inventing the next, best Internet
startup? Which roommate should take care of washing the dishes? Can I get that dog as a
pet? Should I get married, have children, and if so, when? Which politician should I vote for
when they all claim they can improve the economy or make my life better? What is “the
economy,” anyway? What if my personal or religious principles conflict with what people tell
me is in my best economic interest?
Many people hear the word “economics” and think it is all about money. Economics is not
just about money. It is about weighing different choices or alternatives. Some of those
important choices involve money, but most do not. Most of your daily, monthly, or life
choices have nothing to do with money, yet they are still the subject of economics. For
example, your decisions about whether it should be you or your roommate who should be
the one to clean up or do the dishes, whether you should spend an hour a week
volunteering for a worthy charity or send them a little money via your cell phone, or whether
you should take a job so you can help support your siblings or parents or save for your
future are all economic decisions. In many cases, money is merely a helpful tool or just a
veil, standing in for a partial way to evaluate some of the goals you really care about and
how you make choices about those goals.
You might also think economics is all about “economizing” or being efficient–not making
foolish or wasteful choices about how you spend or budget your time and money. That is
certainly part of what economics is about. However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We all
know that we can save money or time by being more efficient in our planning. A trip to the
supermarket can be coordinated with a trip to take your child to school or to deposit a check
at the bank across the street to save on gas. But we sometimes don’t choose the most
efficient options. Why not? Economics is also about plumbing the depths of why we
sometimes do and sometimes don’t make what seem like the most economizing or
economical choices.
Is economics a science (like physics), or is it a social science, or even an art? What is the
difference, and what do we know about what we can’t or don’t know for now? Can economic
problems be solved by better government, more experts, bigger computers, more
engineering, better education, less government, more dispersed knowledge, more markets?
How can we make informed choices?
You’ve probably heard that economists disagree about a lot of things. Actually, what
economists disagree about is politics or public policy, not economics. Exploring the interface
between politics and economics is part of the fun.
Economics is the study of given ends and scarce means. Lionel Robbins, biography, from the
Concise Encyclopedia of Economics:
Robbins’ most famous book was An Essay on the Nature and Significance of Economic
Science, one of the best-written prose pieces in economics. That book contains three main
thoughts. First is Robbins’ famous all-encompassing definition of economics that is still used
The Teacher and the Community, School Culture and Leadership 28
to define the subject today: “Economics is the science which studies human behavior as a
relationship between given ends and scarce means which have alternative uses.”
Science- study of the nature and behavior of natural things and the knowledge that is obtain
about them. Study Science and you will be learning from lecturers whose expertise and
knowledge in their subjects is respected both locally and internationally. Our progressive and
innovative subject range allows our graduates to meet the needs of regional industries and
to contribute to the development of the national and international knowledge economy.
Geography- study of the physical features of the earth as its atmosphere. A qualification in
geography will definitely help your application for further study, but it’s not always a
requirement.
If you’re studying physical geography, a science qualification could support your application.
For human geography degrees, subjects like politics and sociology will help.
Many universities look for the right type of character, rather than the right academic
background. So, you should demonstrate an open mind, along with a passion for problem-
solving and analysis in your personal statement. And, of course, a strong interest in the
natural and man-made world.
History- a story or tale of what has happened or may have happened in the past. History is
the story of the people on our planet. It is the human story. The story of everything that
people have ever done since recognizable humans first evolved between 150,000 and
200,000 years ago. That's some story. Our story. Your story. It is the story of changing
human cultures, politics, lifestyles, beliefs and creativity.
In the past decade we have witnessed dramatic demands for freedom on the part of peoples
from Asia to Africa and from Central and Eastern Europe to Latin America. And as we have
seen one totalitarian or authoritarian regime after another toppled and fledgling democratic
governments replace them, we may have become too optimistic about the future of
democracy. We also may have become too complacent, too sure of democracy's robustness
or of its long term viability. History, however, teaches us that few countries have sustained
democratic governments for prolonged periods, a lesson which we as Americans are
sometimes inclined to forget. Americans, of course, should take pride and confidence from
the fact that they live in the world's oldest constitutional democracy and that the
philosophical foundations underlying their political institutions serve as a model for aspiring
peoples around the world. The "shot heard 'round the world" two centuries ago at the
opening of the American Revolution continues to resound today, and it should remind
Americans that free institutions are among humanity's highest achievements and worthy of
their full energies and earnest devotion to preserve.
Creativity- use of imagination original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work.
Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity is
characterised by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to
make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions.
Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing.
Working as a team not only drives greater productivity, but it also fosters healthy
relationships between employees. Often, when employees work together they’re more
effective and efficient than those who attempt to manage the same projects alone.
Successfully collaborating with your coworkers can also increase your motivation and level of
engagement at work. Additionally, sharing ideas and brainstorming is helpful for developing
unique solutions to complex challenges. There are many ways to collaborate effectively at
work, and the skills and techniques you rely on when you collaborate can lead to greater
efficiency and success.
Information Literacy- understanding of how information is produced and valued and the
use of information in creating new knowledge. Information literacy includes the ability to
identify, find, evaluate, and use information effectively. From effective search strategies to
evaluation techniques, students learn how to evaluate the quality, credibility, and validity of
websites, and give proper credit. Information Literacy has also been referred to as digital
Media Literacy- ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create and act using all forms of
communication. Used well, the media can entertain and inform our children in positive ways.
However, since most children aren’t taught to use media thoughtfully, many media messages
contribute to public health issues such as obesity, bullying and aggression, low self-esteem,
depression, negative body image, risky sexual behavior, and substance abuse, among other
problems.
Flexibility- the willingness and ability to readily respond to changing circumstances and
expectations. Being flexible when it comes to work is worth a lot. Flexibility has become an
increasingly valuable skill in modern workplaces where unpredictability and change is often
constant. When you are flexible, you are able to deal with unexpected challenges quickly,
calmly and efficiently. But flexibility isn't just about reacting to situations as and when they
arise.
Knowledge and skills must be underpinned by values. Values define a person’s character.
They shape the beliefs, attitudes and actions of a person, and therefore form the core of the
framework of 21st century competencies.

standing back from ourselves and becoming aware of our cultural values, beliefs and
perceptions.
Critical and inventive thinking- involve students thinking boldly and deeply using skills,
behaviors and dispositions such as reason, logic, resourcefulness, imagination and all
learning areas at school and in their lives beyond school.

obtained
about them.
5) An ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create and act using all forms of

Introduction
Although we are confident that the more leadership is distributed in schools, the larger is its
effect on student achievement, research is still in its infancy as to what form distributed
leadership should take. Leadership appears to have greater effects on teaching and learning
if it is not monopolized by the principal, but distributed across other senior- and middle-level
leaders in school, even teachers (Leithwood, 2006). In other words, leadership makes a
larger contribution to teaching and learning if it is seen as a process that can be grown,
shared and distributed.
The notion of teacher leadership is not new, but recently it has been transformed. In the
past, teacher leadership roles have been limited in scope and established at the prerogative
of school administrators. Teachers have long served as team leaders, department chairs,
association leaders and curriculum developers. In these roles teachers have often served as
"representatives" rather than "leaders" who enact change (Livingston, 1992). In addition,
leadership roles for teachers have traditionally lacked flexibility and required a lengthy,
ongoing commitment of time and energy. Often the decision to take on leadership tasks has
been accompanied by a decision to get out of teaching and into administration.
Advocacy for teacher professionalism and expanded leadership roles is based on the
understanding that teachers, because they have daily contacts with learners, are in the best
position to make critical decisions about curriculum and instruction.
Introduction
Good leaders have the power to change organizations, while better leaders have power to
change people. Human beings are at the heart of organizations. Simply, changing people can
create a positive culture in terms of the development and growth of the organization,
especially in schools. Leadership can take a wide range of forms, including authoritarian,
charismatic, transformational, traditional, ethical, cultural, situational, and visionary (O'Brien,
Draper & Murphy, 2008).
The Teacher and the Community, School Culture and Leadership 33
As leaders, school principals are aware of the teachers' need in their professional and private
lives. They show the teachers and students that they care about their employees and
students while interacting with them, they are aware of informal groups, and they visit
classrooms and establish close ties with the near and far stakeholders of the school in order
to create a positive school culture (Marzano, Waters & McNulty, 2005).
Learning Objectives
b.) applied their acquired knowledge, values and skills in real-life situations to create a
positive school culture.
The formation of an organizational culture is a complex process that involves many variables,
such as socialization, rituals, language, authority, economy, technology, and influence. For
this reason, culture emerges as a product of the interaction of many dimensions. Some of
these dimensions may be more dominant than others. However, the formation of a common
culture first depends on the presence and association of a group of people interacting with
each other (Sisman, 2002). In educational organizations, where humans are in the center,
every school has a culture built in the process of its formation (Marzano, Waters, &McNulty,
2005).
Organizational culture holds its units together and shares values, norms, philosophers,
perspectives, expectations, attitudes, myths, and trends that give it distinctive identity
(Hoy&Miskel, 2010).
1. Dominant values
2. Ideas
3. Assumptions
For this reason, in terms of cultural characteristics, an organization can be seen as a sub
culture of society. At the same time, organizations reflecting the culture of the community
form their own culture to achieve organizational integration among their members. Since
each organization is formed by people with different characteristics, culture developed by
organizations has unique features that separate it from others (Demirtas, 2010).
The school is the living and learning area where meaning is created. Organizations,
especially schools, are product of the cultural paradigm of the society in which they exist.
Based on its special environment and different inputs and processes, every organization
produces a culture that separates itself from other organizations. During the production of
school culture, school administrators have some basic tasks, such as setting goals and
objectives for the school and education regarding the values desired to take place at the
school, guiding the members of the school community to implement these goals and
objectives, and creating and sustaining a school culture based on mutual trust.
The main task of the principal in creating a positive atmosphere is to contribute to the
creation of a strong school culture. As a result, the school's formal and informal dimensions
integrate with each other.
According to this point of view, leadership in the school is not only a function of the principal
but also a tendency to reach a shared goal jointly with stake holders. School leadership and
school culture can also be defined as nested processes. Even though school culture is built
on the history and deep values of the school society, replacing and renovating the school
culture is contributed through the basic function of the leader. This aspect of the relationship
between school culture and leadership is associated with changing the culture in a positive or
negative way (Deal & Peterson, 2009).
1. Administrators, teachers and students take pride in the school they belong to.
2. Replacing and renovating the school culture is contributed through the basic function
of the leader.

Introduction
Management is essential to any organization that wishes to be efficient and achieve its aims.
Without someone in position of authority there would be organizational anarchy with no
structure and very little, if any focus. It has been said that management has four basic
functions-planning, organizing, leading and controlling. Common sense dictates that without
these principles of management being in place, an organization would have troubles in
achieving its aims in the first place. A classic theory on the principles of management was
written by Henri Fayol. It seems to divide management into 14 principles.
Learning Objectives:
Concept
- In practice, employees are specialized in different areas and they have different skills.
Different levels of expertise can be distinguished within the knowledge areas (from generalist
to specialist). Personal and professional developments support this. According to Henri Fayol
specialization promotes efficiency of the workforce and increases productivity. In addition,
the specialization of the workforce increases their accuracy and speed. This management
principle of the 14 principles of management is applicable to both technical and managerial
activities.
2. Authority
- In order to get things done in an organization, management has the authority to give
orders to the employees. Of course with this authority comes responsibility. According to
Henri Fayol, the accompanying power or authority gives the management the right to give
orders to the subordinates. The responsibility can be traced back from performance and it is
therefore necessary to make agreements about this. In other words, authority and
responsibility go together and they are two sides of the same coin.
3. Discipline
4. Unity of Command
- The management principle ‘Unity of command’ means that an individual employee should
receive orders from one manager and that the employee is answerable to that manager. If
tasks and related responsibilities are given to the employee by more than one manager, this
may lead to confusion which may lead to possible conflicts for employees. By using this
principle, the responsibility for mistakes can be established more easily.
5. Unity of Direction
- This management principle of the 14 principles of management is all about focus and unity.
All employees deliver the same activities that can be linked to the same objectives. All
activities must be carried out by one group that forms a team. These activities must be
described in a plan of action. The manager is ultimately responsible for this plan and he
monitors the progress of the defined and planned activities. Focus areas are the efforts
made by the employees and coordination.
- There are always all kinds of interests in an organization. In order to have an organization
function well, Henri Fayol indicated that personal interests are subordinate to the interests of
the organization (ethics). The primary focus is on the organizational objectives and not on
those of the individual. This applies to all levels of the entire organization, including the
managers.
7. Remuneration
- Motivation and productivity are close to one another as far as the smooth running of an
organization is concerned. This management principle of the 14 principles of management
argues that the remuneration should be sufficient to keep employees motivated and
productive. There are two types of remuneration namely non-monetary (a compliment, more
responsibilities, credits) and monetary (compensation, bonus or other financial
compensation). Ultimately, it is about rewarding the efforts that have been made.
8. Centralization
9. Scalar Chain
- Hierarchy presents itself in any given organization. This varies from senior management
(executive board) to the lowest levels in the organization. Henri Fayol ’s “hierarchy”
management principle states that there should be a clear line in the area of authority (from
top to bottom and all managers at all levels). This can be seen as a type of management
structure. Each employee can contact a manager or a superior in an emergency situation
without challenging the hierarchy. Especially, when it concerns reports about calamities to
the immediate managers/superiors.
10. Order
11. Equity
- The management principle of equity often occurs in the core values of an organization.
According to Henri Fayol, employees must be treated kindly and equally. Employees must be
in the right place in the organization to do things right. Managers should supervise and
monitor this process and they should treat employees fairly and impartially.
13. Initiative
- Henri Fayol argued that with this management principle employees should be allowed to
express new ideas. This encourages interest and involvement and creates added value for
the company. Employee initiatives are a source of strength for the organization according to
Henri Fayol. This encourages the employees to be involved and interested.
- The management principle ‘esprit de corps’ of the 14 principles of management stands for
striving for the involvement and unity of the employees. Managers are responsible for the
development of morale in the workplace; individually and in the area of communication.
Esprit de corps contributes to the development of the culture and creates an atmosphere of
mutual trust and understanding.
The 14 principles of management can be used to manage organizations and are useful tools
for forecasting, planning, process management, organization management, decision-making,
coordination and control.
1. This principle relates to the fact that discipline is needed within an organization for it to
run effectively.
3. In order to motivate and be fair to employees, they should be paid a reasonable rate for
the work they carry out.
6. This principle relates to whether decisions should be made centrally as in from the top
down or in more democratic way from the bottom up.
7. This relates to the principle of a clear chain of communication existing between employees
and superiors.
8. This relates to the proper use of resources and their effective deployment in a structured
fashion.
10. Keeping a high level of morale and team spirit is an essential part of having the most
productive organization possible.
