Summary/Abstract: This article gives short description of the different aspects and models of educational management. Educational management is a field of study and practice concerned with the operation of educational organizations. Many authors argued about the objectives of the educational management as a specific field of management process. According to the world experience theory and practice of the educational management can define six models: formal, collegial, political, subjective, ambiguity and cultural.The six management models discussed in this chapter represent different ways of looking at educational institutions. Each screen offers valuable insights into the nature of management in education but none provides a complete picture. The six approaches are all valid analyses but their relevance varies according to the context. Each event, situation or problem may be understood by using one or more of these models but no organization can be explained by using only a single approach. There is no single perspective capable of presenting a total framework for understanding of educational institutions.The six models differ along crucial dimensions but taken together they do provide a comprehensive picture of the nature of management in educational institutions. The six models present different approaches to the management of education and the syntheses indicate a few of the possible relationships between them. However, the ultimate test of theory is whether it improves practice.
