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.

A principal's management style might shift from collaborative to directive during emergencies.
