Özet

Schools aim to provide pre-determined knowledge, skills and attitudes to their students through a planned and organized process. Successfully managing schools can heavily impact the quality and effectiveness of the educational system. Depending on the current social, political and technological developments, the roles and responsibilities of school principals are constantly changing. According to the 11th National Education Council, school principals are responsible for making decisions, planning, coordinating, communication, supervision and assessment in order to restructure their schools based on the current social changes and needs, manage students, teachers and budgets, and over-see buildings, materials and tools. In successful schools, school principals carefully plan and observe curriculum, constructively solve conflicts and issues, provide the maximum level of organization and coordination, maintain positive relationships, communicate effectively, and possess excellent supervision skills.
