Lesson 8

The document outlines steps a school leader should take to improve a low performing school. The leader would first meet with teachers to get their input and buy-in on a new school program. They would then hold meetings with parents and community leaders to gain their support for the program and resources. The leader would also evaluate classrooms to assess student needs and motivate them with new programs and activities. Regular teacher support and collaboration would help achieve the school's goals. The document also contains a leadership styles checklist to test understanding of different leadership approaches like situational, transformational, autocratic and democratic leadership.

LESSON 8

1. You are assigned as a school head in a low performing school. Students


are poorly motivated, parents and community are not very cooperative, and
teachers have low morale. As a leader, what should you do? Outline your
steps.
 If I will be assigned in this low performing school, I will make sure to follow
these following steps.
 First, upon dispatching me to that school, I will call the attention of
all the teachers. I will talk to them, know their opinions, ask
everybody about their condition and check their suggestions to
beautify and change the reputation of the school.
 After that, I will let all of the teachers to vote to every suggestion
allowing everyone of them to participate in the decision making.
When the decision of the suggestions has been made, we’ll be
making the school program that we will be following for the next
years.
 Then, I will assign some teachers to implement and lead the
programs.
 After planning the school program, I will ask for a General Parent
Teacher Association (PTA) meeting to talk to the parents personally
and inform the parents about the new program and plans. We will
be discussing the desired outcome, the help that we need from
them and the cooperation that we will be expecting from their
children and parents.
 Then, I will also call the community leader to discuss the need for
resources that the school needs from them. The community leader
will be the one to inform his/her people for a better partnership with
the school.
 After having the meeting with the parents and community leaders, I
will then schedule a classroom evaluation to every grade levels to
assess the needs and the things that we need to do to motivate the
students. I will also review the teachers' lesson plan to see what's
wrong with the teachings.
 I will also consider school programs every month to encourage
students to go to school, participate in any school contests and
socialize with other students. I think this will help a lot to motivate
the students.
 Lastly, I will assist and encourage the teachers every time to
achieve unity and collaborate with them to achieve a good
outcome.
