School
mismanagement
fever
A dis - organized school is requesting help,
because she's seeking a cure for a
School Mismanagement Fever.
> it has an inadequate number of
teachers; the pupil drop-out rate is
high; the results in public
examinations are poor; the
buildings, equipment and
materials are inadequate and
poorly maintained; the grounds
are untidy and the morale of those
connected with the school is not
high.
Communication
is an essential
part of
management.
AN ATTITUDE COMPOUNDS
WHEN EXPOSE TO OTHERS
 WHY?
Because the best attitude
influence others.
“You’ve got to
have a great
athlete to win
You can’t win
without good
athletes but
you can loose
with them”
ATTITUDE AXIOM
(a statement thought to be clearly true)
OUR ATTITUDE DETERMINES OUR…
APPROACH TO LIFE
-people sometimes are waiting for others, on the
world, to change instead of realizing that they are
responsible for their own behaviour.
Your role as manager of an organization,
which exists to provide the pupils with
useful knowledge, skills and attitudes for
responsible and successful living. To be a
successful head you will need to acquire
managerial Attitudes = A, Skills = S and
Knowledge = K for running your school.
Thus school managers who are seeking to find a cure for
School Mismanagement Fever must recognise the need
to ASK, that is, to involve others in developing solutions,
but must also recognise the three key components:
Attitudes, Skills and Knowledge, which they need to
acquire. May be your S.M. Fever can be traced to a
specific managerial issue which interferes with the
processes of instruction and learning in the school, but,
more likely, there are very many issues about which you
are concerned. The successful school head is someone
who is able to handle a range of problems or issues, at
one time.
School management diagnosis checklist
If your 'Yes' scores exceed
15/20, then your School
Mismanagement Fever is
not life threatening!
However, if your 'No'
scores exceed 10/20, then
your School
Mismanagement Fever
requires your serious
attention.
PERSONALITY- WHO I AM?
All people are born distinctly
individuals. Even two children with
the same parents are totally
different from each other.

OUR ATTITUDE AT
THE BEGINNING
OF A TASK WILL
AFFECT ITS
OUTCOME MORE
THAN ANYTHING
ELSE.
OUR ATTITUDE CAN TURN OUR PROBLEMS INTO
BLESSING
“What is the difference between an obstacle and an
opportunity?”
-
Every opportunity has a difficulty and every difficulty has
an opportunity
-
Kites rise against wind without wind it could not fly high.
But to fly it needs controlling string.
-
It is our positive attitude that makes us fly high towards our
goal.
-
Consider success through a positive attitude.
OUR ATTITUDE CAN GIVE US AN
UNCOMMONLY POSITIVE PERSPECTIVE
An
uncommonly positive perspective is able
to help accomplish some uncommon goals.
Walk
to the every edge of your potential and
the potential of your goals before accepting
defeat. It is all in your attitude.
2. ENVIRONMENT- WHAT’S AROUND ME?
- Environment of early childhood develops a person’s
“belief system”.
- Environment is the first influence of our belief system.
- Environment becomes even more significant when we
realize that the beginning attitude are the most difficult
to change.

WORD EXPRESSION – WHAT I
HEAR?
Turn negative things into positive !
SELF-IMAGE – HOW I SEE MY SELF

Beyond the boundaries that stake out our true feelings
about ourselves

Ourselves reflects how other see us

Self-image sets the parameters for the construction of
our attitude.
EXPOSURE TO NEW EXPERIENCESOPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH
 There are numbers of opportunities waiting a head. All
we need is to decide to take a risk and act on them.

Experiences provide more opportunity for growth
ASSOCIATION WITH PEERS WHO INFLUENCE ME
 Most
of our actions somehow
influence by people around us, how
we believe in them, somehow build
attitude in us.
 The
key to having an effective
administration and supervision is
the willingness to start a change.
-
If you want to have a school with effective
administration and supervision, then make the
following choices:
1. EVALUATE YOUR PRESENT POSITION
2. REALIZE THAT FAITH IS STRONGER THAN FEAR
3. WRITE A STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
4. HAVE THE DESIRE TO CHANGE
5. LEAVE ONE DAY AT A TIME
6. CHANGE YOUR THOUGHT PATTERN
7. DEVELOP GOOD HABITS
8. CONTINUALLY CHOOSE TO HAVE A RIGHT
ATTITUDE
As a head, you are expected to manage the school through your own work, the
work of other teachers, staff and even pupils. You may have heard of sayings like
'Many heads are better than one', 'Many hands make a load lighter', etc. and
certainly as a manager of a school you cannot achieve your goals and objectives
if you do all the tasks alone. In other words, you cannot teach all the subjects in
the school, head all the departments, be on duty every day of the week, deal
with all the correspondence and discipline cases, be in charge of all the clubs
and so on. You will need to use the talents of the teachers who work under you,
not fearing that they will take over from you, but rather trusting them and
having confidence in them. Moreover, making use of even the most critical or
unco-operative members of your staff may result in their trusting you and feeling
more motivated and needed. By doing the above you will actually be delegating
responsibilities and duties to your teachers, and in this unit we will explore
further the delegation process, considering its importance and the barriers to its
effectiveness.
-
We are either the master or the victims
of our choices. It is a matter of personal
choice. Who we are today is the result of
choices we made yesterday. Tomorrow
we will become what we choose today.
To change means to choose to change.

Many of us picture success as looking like someone
other than who we are.
If you tried to become just like one of them you
wouldn’t be successful. You just eliminating the
possibility of becoming the person you were meant to
be.
1. WEALTH - does not eliminate problems
2. SPECIAL FEELING - if happiness is your goal you are almost
destined to failed
3. POSSESSION - it doesn’t attain success or measured that way
4.
POWER - it is not the source of security or success they are
powerful persons does eventually lose power.
5. ACHIEVEMENT - does not guarantee that you are successful
1. Concentrate on one main
goal
2. Continual improvement
3. Forget the past
4. Focus on the future

potential, and sowing seeds
