EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT

SAN JOSE DEL GUAVIARE

SEPTIEMBRE– 2019
Differences between leadership, management

Leadership and management are two different things in an organization. Both are

completely necessary and equally important. But in education it is a matter of giving a lot

of weight to management, and little or no leadership. This is by no means the same in all

centers or in all educational systems. In Scandinavia, where the management teams have a

lot of decision-making power (they have been empowered), they are not only dedicated to

implementing and evaluating processes designed by others from above, but they have the

role of leading their educational organizations with a lot of autonomy, as something

completely different to manage them. In the US education system, the two figures, the

leader and the manager, are contemplated, with two different roles, with completely

different functions and objectives.

We can see the differences between a manager and a leader in the educational field in the

following scheme:

What is educational management?

Educational management is a process aimed at strengthening the Educational Projects of

the Institutions, which helps to maintain institutional autonomy, within the framework of

public policies, and that enriches the pedagogical processes in order to respond to local

educational needs, Regional From the pedagogical, it promotes the learning of students,

teachers and the educational community as a whole, through the creation of a learning
community where educational establishments are recognized as a group of people in

continuous interaction who have the responsibility of permanent improvement of student

learning, in order to train them fully to be members of a society. All this helps to improve

their quality of life and prepare them for their life in the workplace. The educational

management consists of:

• Present a comprehensive, consistent and unified profile of decisions.

• Define institutional objectives, proposals for action and priorities in resource

management.

• Define actions to extract future advantages; the opportunities and threats of the

environment in which it is inserted are considered, as well as the achievements and

problems of the same organization.

• Engage all institutional actors.

• Define the type of educational service offered. The development of the process is the

responsibility of the director (but he is not the one who performs all the tasks), he must:

Management Stages

You are made aware of the different stages that must be present in every educational

management process

Objective: To understand and analyze each of the stages of educational management.

a) Plan

b) Organize

c) Direct and Execute

d) Establish Coordinations

e) Evaluation

Planning

The Educational Administration, as a specific discipline of the organization and

Rational coordination of the E-A process, introduction to general systems theory, for the

better management and achievement of the objectives set in the educational field.

We can conceptualize systems theory as the ordered set of interrelated elements, among

which there is coherence and unity of purpose or purpose

According to the above, we can affirm that the Educational Administration must fulfill a

series of steps to obtain its aspirations, among which the Planning or starting point of the

procedure stands out.

The organization

The organization is located as the second step in the administrative procedure, which is

carried out in the Teaching - Learning process. The Organization can be approached from

two perspectives, as organic and as the action of organizing, which we will call the

organization function.

The direction

The Direction function is the third stage of administrative work within the Teaching -

Learning process, the management function is inserted within the executive stage, that is,

the stage where the educational act itself is carried out. An approach to the concept of

Management tells us that: "Management is the interpersonal aspect of the administration

through which subordinates can understand and contribute effectively and efficiently to the

achievement of the objectives of the organization."

The evaluation of the teaching-learning process

The evaluation within the teaching and learning process can be seen as the completion of a

certain instructional and educational process, but, also it can be seen as the re-start of the

process, of course now with more information regarding up to where we have made
progress in achieving the initial objectives set. This leads us to deduce that the Evaluation

plays a central role in correcting errors, adding new strategies, annexing new

methodologies and knowledge that make education more precise and effective in obtaining

the proposed goals. Hence, Evaluation is a fundamental step for quality education.

The first process in pedagogical design in the English area. This process of planning

refers to the time when teachers design the curriculum of the area based on the guides,

and academic guides as well as a legal framework which governs the teaching of the

English language. Within the area this aspect is addressed from the point of view of the

basic skills basic, they are determined The topics that students should learn and the level

of complexity to each of the degrees of the institution, as well as the evolution.

In this regard, teachers will play an important role since they are the

English teachers who identified the activities that students should made for students to

communicate in the English language. It's the moment in which the teacher shares his

knowledge with the other members of the group, in order to achieve an articulated use of

resources by teachers; it is the curriculum design application.

In the aspect related to classroom management, the freedom of the teacher to “specify

the acts of teaching and learning” (MEN, 2008, p. 34) of the English language. Each

teacher knows the context in which he teaches, therefore

He knows what strategies he implements so that his students learn without being

detached of the institutional guidelines.

Finally, academic follow-up should be transversal in the process of English language

learning. This allowed the evaluation of the teaching-learning process and thus raise
reinforcement activities and leveling if necessary, establishing new strategies for those

students who have difficulties in learning processes.

Educational organizations have a central shared value system that build the strategy, the

system and its structure on solid bases supported by Your institutional philosophy.

However son the people who make it possible with their leadership, which grants power

and authority, and Genres more innovation, initiative and commitment. Ethics is not seen as

a concept but as shared value when learning and you live ethically, that is, be ethical with

principles and values that specify culture organizational.
