Management and leadership – a needs analysis and a training program for leading, guiding and assessing staff in Romanian schools

Summary/Abstract: The new concept of the flexible, creative schools aims at diminishing the distances, the discrepancies as well as the invisible membranes which separate not only people but also schools; of course, the target is not uniforming but improving the quality of the educational act as well as of the school performance in a more and more competitive free market economy. By starting from these aims, in 2018 we initiated a study on the training needs analysis which was the basis for the proposition of a new programme to develop leadership, management and evaluation competences, on taking into consideration the possibility and the need of a training which approaches holistically and synergetically the two dimensions of management and leadership. Considering the answers given by the teachers, we saw they gave partially correct answers to the questions regarding time management, project management, the difference between manager and leader and the functions of management. The results of the study support the need for designing a training programme for school directors aimin at developing their competences necessary to assure a high quality management act, the increase of the degree of management performance, the improvement of educational service quality, administering of the resources, developing leadership abilities, communication and teamwork.
