A good interpersonal relationship between these are vital since its play an integral part in the gestalt operation of the organization. ANALYSIS I. What are the types of administration? • Preschools Administration Preschools are often small enough therefore a single supervisor with some of the faculty members can manage them. The administration of the school depends only on the director, ensuring that the curriculum, finances and projects are done correctly and ensure that the school follows educational standards. • Elementary and Secondary School Administration The principal also plays a major part in supervising projects and other development to better serve the students. Elementary school administrations, through the Parent-Teacher Association, also meet with parents to make sure that their children are getting the best education and services that the school can offer. A principal heads up most school administrations in this category. • College and University Administrations College and University Administrations are largely different from elementary and secondary school administrations; they are larger and have more specific functions since they manage a very large school community. The first major difference is that college and university administrations are headed by a president and a governing that handles all aspects related to school management, like finances and projects. II. What is the meaning of school administration? Explain with examples • The school administrator identifies and articulates a school's mission and goals and makes them happen by implementing programs, delegating tasks and allocating resources. One of a school administrator’s main jobs is to set a school’s budget. It is his job to account for local and federal funding. He also decides how to spend the funding. Do the computer classes need new system units, or should the money be spent on new bleachers for the basketball field? It is often the school administrator’s job to decide or to delegate the decision to someone else. III. What are the different types of leadership style in education? • Instructional leadership – involves the practice of planning, evaluation, coordination and improvement of teaching and learning. Working directly with the teachers’ instructional leaders evaluate teacher performance and help advance their skills through mentoring and coaching. Becoming an instructional leader entails time spent solving pedagogical problems, taking an action to • Transformational leadership - Transformational leaders are able to influence school outcomes by outlining highperformance expectations, developing people through individual support, building productive relationships and providing instructional support. • Constructivist leadership - facilitating the learning process, rather than directing it. At the core of the constructivist approach is that learners control their own learning, not teachers. Acknowledging that every learner understands, processes and gives meaning to lessons through their own reality, constructivism places a priority on customized teaching approaches that take into consideration individual learning needs. • Servant leadership - pushes the ego aside and considers the needs of others, rather than focus on self-interest. The philosophy behind servant leadership is that a “great leader must first serve others and that this simple fact is central to his or her greatness: true leadership emerges from those whose primary motivation is a desire to help others.” School leaders who practice servant leadership maintain high expectations; however, they also help teachers and students to develop their skills to improve their performance. These leaders instill the desire for improvement while maintaining a focus on both results and relationships. • Strategic leadership – is based on long-range planning. Through analysis, evaluation and monitoring, strategic leaders assess current school performance and take the necessary steps to improve future results. These leaders not only set the direction of the school by having an organizational vision, they create frameworks, set up interventions, allocate resources and maintain systems for reforms to take place. ABSTRACTION As a school administrator, you’d have the opportunity to take on more of a leadership role, impacting organizational decisions related to hiring, budget allocation, policy and more. It also cover the typical duties a school administrator may encounter and the educational requirements you’ll need to get there. Without the educational administration, the educational sector would not be able to function effectively or efficiently. The people that fill these roles determine how education is delivered and what it needs to develop and progress into the future. Educational Administrators functions also support teaching staff to deliver this strategy to students and keep educational facilities operating. Last but certainly not least, the educational administrators provide students with a safe and secure space in which they can learn should not be ignored. Having students who are healthy and capable of learning both emotionally and physically is crucial to the success of the education sector. APPLICATION Effective supervision in classroom is evidenced by performing good administrative procedure characterized by disciplined behavior by demonstrating through positive implementation of school rules and regulations directed towards the achievement of the aims and objectives of the class in particular and education in general.
