Key components include: inputs (teachers, students, curriculum, funding), processes (teaching methods, administrative processes, school culture), outputs (student learning outcomes, graduation rates, stakeholder satisfaction), and feedback loops (adjustments based on performance and environmental change). Encourages adaptability and collaboration among stakeholders.

Contingency Theory

  • Core Idea: A "one size doesn't fit all" approach to management. Decisions depend on the specific context and environment. Key principles include the influence of the external environment on decisions, the need for flexibility in adapting leadership styles, and the importance of matching strategies to existing conditions. A principal's management style might shift from collaborative to directive during emergencies.

Inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, idealized influence, and individualized consideration are key components.
