EFFORTS OF HEAD TEACHERS IN LEADING AND MANAGING PUBLIC SCHOOL THROUGH DEVELOPING PROJECTS AND PORGRAMMES

Abstract

The paper explores how school leaders of community schools lead and manage schools through the development of innovative projects and programmes creating an engaged learning environment at school. A visionary school leader has a dream of creating an engaged learning environment at school, for which an unwavering determination seems to be a must. The head teachers of the study are found totally focused on their task with full commitment and dedication. They are launching different innovative programs and projects at schools adhering to the notion of innovative school leadership, thereby drawing the attention of the local stakeholders. Like the intent of the theory of flow, these school leaders as campaigners of transformation are immersed in the affairs of school delegating responsibilities to team members. The paper further argues for the need of leading schools proactively and creatively so to create a vibrant learning space where students get opportunities to demonstrate their creativity.
