Appraisal of a school management team: A case study of a comprehensive school

In this study, we analyzed the relationship between the management team of a State School in Minas Gerais and the families of the students, identifying perceptions about their own performance and the participation of families in the institutional scope. To this end, the theoretical-methodological axis is characterized by a case study, with a descriptive approach and a qualitative approach, based on a corpus consisting of information from seven Basic Education Specialists (BSE). Thus, we found that the management team, in general, admits the essentiality of family participation at the institutional level. However, according to the findings of this research, conflicting situations are evidenced between school members and family members/guardians of students, which demonstrates the constant need for school debates on interpersonal relationships, even with the possibility of stirring up controversies and causing confrontations of ideas, given the need to put democratic guiding principles into practice, through communicability.

Lack of appropriate warehouse ergonomics is one of the leading causes of worker injuries in industry environments. As management teams are trying to reduce the cost of doing business, they look to worker’s health statistics and realize they must improve their way of operating. The paper presents a warehouse analysis done at the request of the management team of a Belgian manufacturing plant. The factory’s warehouse was audited with focus on Kanban bin weight, storage rack height and rack width to assess the ergonomic strain it causes on workers. The paper then presents possible automation options in order to find the best fit to reduce ergonomic impact, while also optimizing the total investment cost.

Day To Day Operations

Earlier this year I was approached to speak to a gathering of Principals and other senior education officers from the WA Department of Education attending a Kimberley School Management Team Conference held at Derby during August, 1994. The topic is one of major concem to education providers in the north west and is certainly central to the legitimisation of the Aboriginal Independent Schools as well as their day-to-day operations. Assuming a wider audience I have therefore prepared the following paper in an attempt to consolidate as well as expand upon the points I made while addressing this meeting. In an attempt to maintain a sense of immediacy I have also retained the first person approach to its delivery.

Curriculum Delivery

While teaching and learning are underway, the world is still grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on educational systems, particularly curriculum delivery across the globe, on both developing and developed countries. As a result, collaboration and partnerships with primary, secondary schools, and higher education institutions are more vital than ever. Unfortunately, many schools have yet to show real leadership when it comes to this. This chapter foregrounds the school management team voices to depict collaborative initiatives and ways to improve curriculum delivery in a rural context of two secondary schools in Free State, South Africa during the crisis. In so doing, the chapter considers collaborative initiatives that are inclusive and provide much-needed practical information for curriculum delivery and sustainable leadership.
