Ethical Issues in School Management and Classroom Communication- A sub title of the Book-Educational Management: New Perspectives
Overview
Effective management focuses mainly on developing and managing a positive relationship between adults and children. For this to take place, it is essential that all stakeholders in the school system ensure a progressive development of a positive school climate where there is absolute trust, respect and cooperation. This will bring about desirable interrelationship virtues like faith and love in and for one another, healthy competitions and readiness to assume responsibility for one’s actions and inactions. For obvious reasons, each institution is expected to have its laid down rules and regulations because what is acceptable in an organization may not work in another.
Communication is therefore, the means through which people in any organization exchange ideas. Chaos sets in when communication breaks down. The need for coherence and exchange of information between society and the school makes communication inevitable. It aims, among others, to bring social cohesion in the school, enhance public reputation and ensure that decision making is effective. Communication acts as a co-ordination mechanism for various organs or units. Its importance in the scheme of things should be highlighted. While it senses early internal strains within the school, its absence usually creates an environment of rumours. An open channel of communication is therefore, encouraged.
