School-Based Management cover

This essential text on school-based management by Mohrman and Wohlstetter explores its principles, challenges, and transformative potential for educational reform.

In School-Based Management, authors Mohrman and Wohlstetter delve into the transformative potential of empowering schools through decentralized decision-making. This comprehensive volume explores the principles and practices that underpin effective school-based management, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among educators, administrators, and the community. By examining various case studies and real-world applications, the authors provide readers with a nuanced understanding of how schools can thrive when given the autonomy to make decisions tailored to their unique contexts.

The book also addresses the challenges that come with implementing school-based management. Mohrman and Wohlstetter highlight the need for strong leadership, ongoing professional development, and a supportive policy environment to ensure success. They argue that for school-based management to be truly effective, it must be coupled with accountability measures and a focus on student outcomes. Through their thoughtful analysis, the authors present a compelling case for why school-based management is not just a trend, but a necessary evolution in the quest for educational reform.

Ultimately, School-Based Management serves as a vital resource for educators, policymakers, and anyone invested in the future of education. By providing a clear framework for understanding and implementing school-based management, Mohrman and Wohlstetter contribute significantly to the discourse on school reform, offering insights that are both practical and visionary.

``Mohrman and Wohlstetter have written the most important volume on school-based management to date... a significant contribution to the school reform literature.'' --Joseph Murphy, professor and chair, department of educational leadership, Vanderbilt University
