What Do School Administrators Do?
We have known for a long lime
that the quality of a school is closely
related to the skill, ability, and
knowledge of the administrator who
is in charge of it Yet. even though
the administrator is a vital element
in a quality school, many of us do
not have a clear understanding of
what he or she does. Although it
isn’t necessary that we know every
aspect of the job. we should have a
basic understanding of the ad-
ministrator's responsibilities.
The school administrator is an
executive who heads a team of
educational specialists including
classroom teachers, special
teachers, counselors, librarians,
and others who are charged with
the responsibility of educating
every student who comes to school
The administrator is expected to
provide the leadership that will
enable all of these people to locus
their skills and know ledge upon the
educational needs of students This
requires much scheduling., coor-
dinating. and planning The ad-
ministrator must plan tor
tomorrow, next week, and next
year to make certain that the needs
of the students and staff are met
He or she must anticipate an,! pi.iii
for changes that may be necessary
in curriculum and instruction. In
addition, the administrator must
seek ways to make the schools bet-
ter. And the administrator must en-
sure that teachers have the sup-
plies. materials, books, and equip-
ment they need to perform their
duties.
Whenever people work together,
disagreements are likely to occur
Therefore, problems sometimes
arise among staff members and
between teachers and parents li -
the administrator s duty to help
resolve those problems and
disagreements so that they do not
interfere with the education nt boys
and girls.
The administrator implements
policies and programs and main-
tains the standards established by
the board of education and the state
education agency And the ad-
ministrator must make certain that
the state and federal laws relating
toeducation are adhered to
The resources available to oper-
ate the schools are nearly always
limited, and the administrator must
allocate them in ways that secure
maximum results The admin-
istrator is also responsible for
creating and maintaing a safe en-
vironment in the school.
These are not all of the duties and
responsibilities of the school ad-
ministrator. But they provide a
good start for understanding what
an administrator does and how that
work contributes to the quality o!
the school.
The administrator does not
always perform these duties with
perfection. Many other people are
involved m the work of the school
and things do not always go
smoothly. But. most administrators
do perform these duties with a high
degree ol success Indeed, they are
more successful than is often
acknowledged.
It is important, however, that we
be supportive ol the administrator
when (lungs go well at school Too.
we need to have some understan
ding of the challenges he or she
faces w hen things go wrong as they
sometimes w ill After all. we camel
ignore the reality that the quality ol
the school is directly related to the
work ol the administrator And only
il we offer our encouragement and
support are we likely to have the
quality schools weall want
Happy
Anniversary
