چکیده (انگلیسی):

School principals are confronted with a variety of issues as they provide leadership and organization to
their schools. Evidence is growing that successful school leaders influence achievement through the
support and development of effective teachers and the implementation of effective organizational
practice (Davis, Darling-Hammond, LaPointe, & Meyerson, 2005). On occasion it takes specific
leadership behaviors from the principal to begin to resolve the issues; at other times it takes
organizational and management skills. The classroom activity in this instructional module is designed
to provide options for an instructor in developing the background knowledge and information to provide
leadership and/or the organizational and management skills necessary for educational administration
candidates to begin developing personal approaches to organizational behavior. Discussions and/or
reactions after each presentation provide opportunities to focus attention on establishing a systems
perspective for guiding administrative behavior as issues are clarified and solutions are identified,
including anticipated and unanticipated consequences.
