What do you consider to be the most important role of a school administrator?

School Administrator is the manager of the institution. She/He oversees administrative


tasks in schools, colleges or other educational institutions. They ensure that the
organization runs smoothly and they also manage facilities and staff. School
administrators work in every level of education. They may direct programming, hire and
supervise staff, manage budgets, and make decisions that affect the academic
community. For schools, this job is usually the role of a principal or assistant principal.
How would you describe your role in you school organization?
Being a teacher, my primary role is to ensure I educate my students at all levels and
prepare lesson plans at all times. Delivering classroom instruction that helps students
learn. My duties also include assigning homework, grading tests as well as grade pupils
work and offer feedback, manage classroom materials and monitoring progress of my
pupils. Must prepare effective lessons. My role includes instructing and teaching
subjects, reaching students with engaging lesson plans and molding character traits of
my pupils. In addition, collaborate with my co teachers, school administrator and
community linkages.

How would you describe an organization that will likely lead to conditions that are
conducive to teaching and learning vis a vis Principal’s discharge of management
administrative and leadership functions?

Managers, administrators and leaders are different? How?


A leader is someone who directs and motivates employees to accomplish new, or innovative,
tasks that may not have been tried before. ... Leaders focus on people, while managers focus
on the process, and administrators focus on the task.
There are differences between management and leadership. The aim of this review is to
determine the differences between management and leadership. The result of this review
showed that management and leadership are two very distinct functions. Although,
management and leadership do share many similar duties which consist of working with people
and influencing others to achieve goals. Management skills are used to plan, build, and direct
organizational systems to accomplish missions and goals, while leadership skills are used to
focus on a potential change by establishing direction, aligning people, and motivating and
inspiring. Leadership and management must go hand in hand. They are not the same thing. But
they are necessarily linked, and complementary. Any effort to separate the two is likely to cause
more problems than it solves.
Although you would need both administrative leadership skills to ensure organizational
efficiency, there are various differences between the two roles. While administration involves
delegating responsibilities and exerting authority, leadership entails providing direction to shape
the company’s goals and motivating the employees to achieve them.

You can think of administration as more of an exact science; it includes a lot of planning,
measurement and standardization. On the other hand, leadership is more of an art of inspiring
people and creating visions and ideas.
