School-based management (SBM) offers a mechanism to |
|
promote school improvement through decentralization. |
|
Decentralization can occur only gradually and cannot |
|
simply be implemented. The power to make decisions |
|
influencing organizational policies must shift to school- |
|
based councils comprised of administrators, teachers, |
|
parents, community members, and students. The control and |
|
use of knowledge, through expansion of job skills, |
|
teamwork skills, and organizational skills, should be |
|
decentralized. Information should be diffused through |
|
systematic strategies for sharing information. |
|
Decentralizing reward schemes is critical to motivate |
|
individuals to use their enhanced resources of power, |
|
knowledge, and information to further reforms. The |
|
transition to SBM entails major changes in educational |
|
organizations that can threaten participants unless |
|
accompanied by a clearly articulated vision, the |
|
development of new skills and capabilities in council |
|
members, and the provision of adequate time and financial |
|
resources. States and school districts must offer |
|
encouragement and provide support for a successful |
|
transition. (TEJ) |
