Notes de l'éditeur
ROLE is a part one has to play while FUNCTION refers to actions one performs relative to the role he/she assumes.
Is there a difference between a leadership role from a managerial function?
Executes the goals by making sure that all policies, strategies and activities do not lose track of them.
Initiates new structures, procedures and goals thus leadership emphasizes NEWNESS OR CHANGE.
Ensuring that members of the academic community acquire appropriate criteria for their professional and personal conduct. Who are the members of the academic community referred to here? Is this part of the principal’s moral obligation/responsibility to ensure that members of the academic community are able to display appropriate behavior?
The Principal serves as the custodian (caretaker) of school spirit/culture ensuring that all school policies, programs, activities and directions are geared towards achieving the school’s vision and goals. Congruence/interrelatedness of all directions towards attaining the vision.
School culture – practices and traditions (e.g. MM Devotion, religious convocations, etc).
Seeing that the school is able to build and maintain prestige and recognition in the academic community. How?
Seeing to it that harmony is maintained between and among stakeholders; such can also be articulated wherein subjects in one level and across curricular levels optimally relate to one another and finally that all policies, programs and activities of the school are in consonance with the school’s vision, mission and goals.
Seeing that the day-to-day operations run with precision and efficiency via periodic planning and evaluation. For a school to operate effectively and efficiently, it must have structure and policies. People within and outside are able to know whom to go to and at the same time are guided by policies/protocols.
A manager does routine behaviors/activities associated with one’s job. What do you think are these activities?
Planning – creating the blueprint (vision-mission, short/long-term plans, schedules, budgets, etc.)
Organizing – putting people in the right roles/positions (consider skills, academic preparation/qualification and
experience)
Leading – inspiring people to act/move
