Sinopsis

A clear guide to bringing scientific management into city school systems, with practical ideas for improving methods and outcomes.

- Learn how to distinguish between method discovery and method application in schools
- See how supervision, planning rooms, and teacher expertise interact for better outcomes
- Explore practical examples of organizing instructional work across subjects and grades
- Understand the role of measurement, scales, and careful experimentation in improving education

Ideal for readers interested in the management of education and the practical application of systematic methods to city-school systems.

Excerpt from Some General Principles of Management Applied to the Problems of City-School Systems

Although we are in our field rather backward as compared with portions of the world of affairs in the recognition and development of some of these principles, together with their corollaries; yet, as a matter of fact, all of them are recognized in our work in greater or lesser degree.

Excerpt from Some General Principles of Management Applied to the Problems of City-School Systems

They must supply the workers with the necessary materials and appliances. They must place incentives before the worker in order to stimulate desirable effort. Whatever the nature or purpose of the organization, if it is an effective one, these are always the directive and supervisory tasks.

It appears possible therefore to find inherent in the nature of effective, fully developed human organization, of whatever sort, certain general principles of management and supervision that have universal applicability. These general principles have been recognized by different social organizations with very unequal degrees of clearness, and their application to the problems in hand has been made also with varying degrees of completeness. The principles appear to be most clearly conceived and to have been most fully and completely worked out by certain portions of the industrial and business world. Certain railroads and manufacturing corporations have gone farther in this direction than government, or philanthropy, or education, or any of the less materialistic institutions. These latter institutions, are, however, in fact, at present taking over the lessons to be taught by the industrial world; and they are busily making application of proven principles of good management to the special problems of their own field.

Educational workers can, therefore, perhaps see the nature of some of these principles of supervision rather more clearly from observing their application in other fields of human labor, partly because they have been more completely developed and applied in those fields, and partly because they can be viewed in a more objective and impersonal manner. In undertaking our discussion of certain of these principles, it seems well, therefore, to state and illustrate each of them in their most general form as they apply to any organization; then to show in detail how each of them has been worked out in the field of education; or, as it is unfortunately too often the case with us, how it is being worked out and the probable lines along which it is yet to be further developed.
