International Perspectives on the Impact of School-based Management

Brian John CALDWELL

Abstract

A major feature of school reform has been school-based management: the shifting of significant responsibility, authority and accountability to the school level within centrally determined frameworks. The impact of this aspect of reform has been the subject of debate around the world. Evidence of impact is examined, with particular attention given to level of acceptance, change to work place practice, and outcomes for students. Strategies for a positive impact are explored, with particular attention given to enhancement of classroom effectiveness.

Keywords: School-based management;school reform;centrally-determined framework
