management of school comprises of many constituents, the rightful utilization
and management of which are essential for the progress and for its success.
Therefore,
for bringing out school management one must have the clear understanding of the
constituents of school management.
Different
educationist have identified and suggested many components/constituents, most
of which are common.
POSDCORB
1) Planning
2) Organizing
3) Staffing
4) Directing

6) Reporting and recording
7) Budgeting
Planning:
Thinking beforehand about the resources available and the difficulties likely to come in the way of progress of any activity is known as planning. It is working out the broad outline from the beginning to the end of an activity. Good planning yields good results.
Flexibility in plans provides scope for alterations and
modifications for objectives not seen before hand. Educational management is
concerned with each kind of management activity associated with the education.
If one plans properly and adequately it saves time, money and energy by
avoiding repetition, overlapping etc. of the work.
Organizing:
The
process or component of educational management envisaging setting up of things
and creating suitable environment for the successful completion. It involves
organizing of human as well as material equipment. Both of the equipments may
to be organized properly and adequately in order to make institution able to
function successfully.
Organization
is the process of establishing coordination between management and
administration. It is the process of coordinating and unifying the process of
tasks performed by workers and departments. So organization is basically a
group of workers who work together in order to attain specific objectives. This
is the system that performs executive role of the management and
administration. This is the power which fulfils the responsibilities of the
managers and unifies duties.
Some
definitions
Greg: It is the collective execution of tasks by a group of people for the attainment of common goals.
Bernard: The process of coordination of well considered tendencies by two or
more people is called organization.
Walton: Group of working people who came together for realization of common
aims.
Staffing:
Institution
can’t function properly with adequate professionally qualified staff.
Management has to serve this function as well by arranging. The professionally
qualified staff for school keeping into consideration the requirements. Staff
is to assign the duties according to their potential in order to get maximum
results out of it.
Directing:
It is the process of giving guidance for carrying some activities in accordance with the laid down principles. It involves implementation of plans and educational programmes. Directors usually heads of the institution should not make use of his authority alone in giving direction or guidance.
Coordinating/controlling:
It
is the process of removing, eliminating or stopping the interference of one
activity with the other. It rather builds harmonious relationship between
different activities of the school. Since the school is place where many people
work together and large number of activities go on.
There
is every possibility of overlapping and duplicacy. Maiming proper control and
coordination between time and activity and place will avoid and eliminate such
duplicacy and confusion in the institution but lack of proper control of these
activities would increase such overlapping and confusion in school which will
reduce the efficiency of work.
Budgeting:
Every
management is fully conscious of the fact that no activity, plan or programme
can be carried out without spending money.
It
is therefore, necessary for any management to prepare an estimated account of
income and expenditure to be incurred on the activity or plan. The school
management has to identify the priority areas and then allocate funds
proportionate to their requirements. Budgeting is thus very useful for avoiding
wasteful spending because the expenditure on less important items is already
curtailed at the time of preparing the estimate.
Reporting and recording:
This
is the necessary constituents foe assessment of the progress of institution can
be made. The clear account of the work done by school is to be recorded and
reported. So that loop wholes can be identified, removed and managed properly
in future in order to improve the performance of the institution.
