The school system I am apart of is primarily a professional structure. Our administration is treated as an oversight while delegating most of the daily decision making to the teachers. We conduct our own TBT meeting weekly and turn in our meeting agenda to the building administrator. The administration involves the teachers when making decisions and we have groups to negotiate and create a plan of action for processes such as behavior, incentives, and testing schedules. Instead of taking on the role of an authoritarian my building principal treats the staff like the trained professionals that they are and involves their input. The structure that we are least alike is the authoritarian structure. Very few times have I felt as if my administration has made a decision without consulting the staff and gathered input from others before making a decision. Our administration treats the “little guy” with equal voice With an authoritarian structure the leader would have a vision in mind and not stray from that vision with influence from somebody lower than them. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
