Summary/Abstract: School leaders across the nation are exploring ways to better educate students and improve school performance. School‑based management (SBM) offers a way to promote improvement by decentralizing control to individual school sites. It attempts to give school constituents – administrators, teachers, parents and other community members – more control over what happens in schools. Understanding the need for change is the first step in a transition. Having a vision of what the change entails and what it is trying to accomplish is the next. This includes defining high performance in a manner that can be agreed to by the various stakeholders who become partners in the effort. An explicit focus on educational outcomes frames the change to SBM in away that replaces issues of who gains and who loses power. Developing a shared vision of the organization links people together and provides goals and criteria for change activities and ongoing decisions. School districts and the schools within them should involve stakeholders at all levels informing the vision, and then in giving it substance at the local level.
