Effective School Management

Step 1:
 statement of situation
Decisions are made either to correct a situation or to improve it. Therefore the
situation must be understood and its causes explored. We can often usefully
compare the situation ‘as is’ and the ‘ideal’ that we should like to see. We can
also ask questions such as when, where, how and why the problem occurs, or
when, where, how and why there is a situation that could or should be
improved. What has changed? Relevant data (facts, attitudes, events, figures)
can be adduced and the total should be seen in a context of what the school is
trying to achieve.
