Role of educational administrator

prepared at the institution level and is for its own betterment and
improvement. Head of the institution is the central figure in any educational
effort and be key role in institutional planning the success of any plan can’t
be conceived without the head. The truth is that he is the nerve centre round
which all school activities revolve. Any plan can succeed only when the head of
the institution takes its charge and supports it. In order to have successful
implementation of the plan the head of the institution has to play the role in
the following ways:
as a leader:
Head is the overall in charge of all kind of planning done at institution
level. He leads the whole group and assigns duties and responsibilities to
others. He also provides guidance where ever needed.
Take initiative
for commencement of plan: Any plan starts with will power of head of
institution. The staff cooperation can be gained of its own. It is necessary
for an efficient administrator to take initiative and display his leadership.
To fix priorities:
Plan is based on the needs of the institution. For purpose of surveying the
needs of the institution, it is head of the institution who appoints the team
of teachers for conducting the surveys. Head of the institution finally decides
the priorities and gets the plan prepared from a committee or team of teachers
constituted by him.
To access
resources and meet the situations: He has to make the assessment of the
adequacy of resources that can be made available and of the existing resources
for carrying on the plan. He has to meet all situations to carry on the plans
successfully. He has the competence to meet out the short comings in the human
and material resources as the situation demands.
To take decisions:
Head of the institution takes decision and makes selection of the team of
the teachers who are capable of performing the work of the project
successfully.
To prepare and
implement plan: Though he has to seek the help of other teachers for this
purpose, but it is the head of the institution who identifies the usefulness of
the plan and involvement of teachers for preparing the blue print of the plan
under his guidance. Then the proper plans prepared are implemented in the
institution by the head.
To provide
suitable environment for execution of plan: The school environment plays a
vital role on any school programme. Head should pay attention to the essential
factors of creating school environment for the success of school development
plans.
Execution of plans
as per specified stages: Head of the institution should know which tasks
have to be completed from beginning to end and what his role is in each stage
and what leadership and guidance is needed to the workers.
Arrangement of
necessary resources: Head has to arrange the resources required for the
execution of the plan; he should provide finance, tools, time, place, etc. in
order to illuminate the path of success.
To evaluate the
project: The success of institutional planning is estimated through the
process of evaluation. Head plays important role in making assessment of the end
results of the project. He makes evaluation of the plan when it is in progress
and when it has been completed.
Rewards to
successful teachers: A teacher who is devoted to the execution of a plan
and is giving good results should be accorded recognition and he should be
commended by a competent officer and if possible the successful plan should be
published so that the other people in educational world can be inspired.
To prepare report:
After the institutional plan has been implemented and evaluation made, a
record of the whole work done from beginning to end is prepared. Head gets this
record prepared as to how school needs were identified what resources were used
and how the plan was executed and under whose supervision the execution was
carried out. This report is very useful for knowing the difficulties faced and
result achieved.
