11. Class Room Observation StrategiesClass Room Observation Strategies
Observation: it’s a methodology that involves watching and recording everything
Within a clearly defined area and set objectives.
Classroom observation: is the process of gathering data for sketching the Current
classroom practices in order to maximize student’s learning and teacher’s performance.
Principles of observation:
Clarify the purpose of observation
Decide observation schedule
Record observation
Keep record of time intervals of what you observe
Participate in the class only if invited to do so
Why observation?
We need to be really clear about this. It is not because some other schools do it etc.. It is because
teaching is the heart of what schools are for and as professionals we should always be looking to
make improvements to what we do. Observation is one of the methods through which we access
the quality of teaching and learn how to develop further. Therefore it has to make a difference.

14. 12 Characteristic of a good test
1- Valid:
It means that it measures what it is supposed to measure. It tests what it ought to test. A good test which
measures control of grammar should have no difficult lexical items.
2- Reliable:
If it is taken again by ( same students, same conditions ), the score will be almost the same regarding that the time
between the test and the retest is of reasonable length. If it is given twice to same students under the same
circumstances, it will produce almost the same results. In this case it is said that the test provides consistency in
measuring the items being evaluated.
3- Practical:
It is easy to be conducted, easy to score without wasting too much time or effort.
4- Comprehensive:
It covers all the items that have been taught or studied. It includes items from different areas of the material
assigned for the test so as to check accurately the amount of students’ knowledge
5- Relevant:
It measures reasonably well the achievement of the desired objectives.
6- Balanced:
It tests linguistic as well as communicative competence and it reflects the real command of the language. It tests
also appropriateness and accuracy.
7- Appropriate in difficulty:
It is neither too hard nor too easy. Questions should be progressive in difficulty to reduce stress and tension
8- Clear:
Questions and instructions should be clear. Pupils should know what to do exactly.
9- Authentic:
The language of the test should reflect everyday discourse
10- Appropriate for time:
A good test should be appropriate in length for the allotted time.
11- Objective:
If it is marked by different teachers, the score will be the same. Marking process should not be affected by the
teacher’s personality. Questions and answers are so clear and definite that the marker would give the students the
score he/she deserves.
12- Economical:
It makes the best use of the teacher’s limited time for preparing and grading and it makes the best use of the
pupil’s assigned time for answering all items. So, we can say that oral exams in classes of +30 students are not
economical as it requires too much time and effort to be conducted.
15. Strategic VisionStrategic Vision
Vision: The ability to see invisible or think about or plan the future with imagination
or wisdom.
Without a clear vision, we don’t have a direction! Without a direction,
we are at severe risk!
Just as it is unwise to start a building your house without a plan, it is unwise to start
your day, your week, your month, your year and your life without a vision and a plan.
Strategic Vision: Ideas for the direction and activities of business development.
Generally included in a document or statement so all company managers can
share the same vision for the company and make decisions according to the
shared principles and company mission.

16. Benefits of strategic planning…
Motivating staff and volunteers. Thinking about the future is a stimulating and
energizing process. It can create a shared vision, with concrete ideas about how to
surmount obstacles in order to achieve that vision.
Building and planning team with a common vision. The strategic plan that emerges
from the process is generally more realistic and achievable, and working or
interdependent relationships within the organization are strengthened.
Confronting key issues and solving problems. Strategic planning sets in motion a
dynamic process that allows the organization to continually reassess, confront change,
and grow within an agreed-upon framework.
Defining roles and responsibilities. Measurable performance objectives are set
and the person(s) who is responsible for specific activities is identified.
Challenging the status quo. The process creates an open atmosphere, stressing the
interests of the whole organization. It often answers the question “How can we do
things better?” in a more systematic and thorough way.
Allowing busy managers and policy makers to concentrate exclusively on the
organization’s future for a short period of time, meaning that they will be able to focus
their expertise and insights on self-assessment and planning future directions.
Explaining or exposing your organization to others, particularly donors. A thoughtful
and clear strategic plan is often a good marketing tool and can encourage donor
support for the organization and its future directions.
Developing a renewed sense of organizational mission and consensus, so that
individual perspectives, roles, and problems are subsumed by an overall plan that
coordinates all staff members and volunteers so that agreed-upon goals and objectives
are achieved in a timely manner.
17. Effective Communication in SchoolEffective Communication in School
Effective: Successful in producing a desired result.
Communication: Process of transmission of an idea, or feeling from A to B for achieving desired results.
Communication is the key to achieving all of our goals

19. Time Tabling TechniquesTime Tabling Techniques
What is a Time Table? A time table or schedule is an organized list, usually set out in tabular form, providing
information about a series of arranged events.

following purposes:
Eliminates Wastage of Time and Energy
Ensures due attention to every Subject or Activity
Develops Moral Values
Brings System in the School Life

Ideally speaking there should be seven types of time-table:
(1) Master time indicating the entire programme of the school
(2) Class time-table.
(3) Teacher's time-table.
(4) Vacant period time-table.
(5) Games time-table
(6) Co curricular activities time-table.
(7) Home-work time-table.

The Characteristics of Time
We are to bear in mind that time has certain characteristics, among of which are the following:
Time passes quickly.
Time that passes can never return, nor can it be compensated for, for time is irretrievable.
Time is the most precious thing that man possesses.
21. Basics of Educational ManagementBasics of Educational Management
Introduction: In this first unit we introduce some theoretical perspectives on management
and examine a number of key management concepts and principles. We believe that a deeper
understanding of the nature of educational management will enable you to improve your practice
as a school manager.
Concepts of management in education
Management can mean different things to different people at different times, and a variety of
definitions have been offered. The term 'management' itself, derives from the verb 'to manage',
which can mean:
• to handle
• to control
• to make and keep submissive
• to organize
• to alter by manipulation
• to carry out for a purpose.
Management Cycle in School
22. Management as an art
As an art, management is about carrying out organizational functions and tasks through people.
This art involves the application of techniques in:
• human and public relations
• the delegation of an authority: assigning and sharing responsibilities and duties
• communication: including decision-making and problem-solving.
• managing change.
Management as a science
Management here is concerned with establishing a philosophy, laws, theories, principles, processes
and practices which can be applied in various situations, including schools.
Management as an organization
As an organization, management is about creating formal structures and an establishment based
on a mission (or goals), objectives, targets, functions and tasks. For example, social and welfare
organizations in government management can refer to education and health services, whilst public
security management services could refer to the police and military.
Management as a person
Managements may be seen as a person or a group of people. For example, a teacher could say
'The school management has changed the timetable in the middle of the term'. This could be
referring to you, as the head alone, or to all the senior staff, or it could refer to the members of
the board of governors or school committee. In schools with several promoted staff a 'senior
management team' might be formed in much the same way as a government has a cabinet of
ministers.
Management as a discipline
In this sense, management is a field of study with various subjects and topics. Knowledge, skills
and attitudes in management can be acquired through learning, from experience and from
certificated courses.
Management is a collection of processes, including such things as decision-making, problem-
solving and action-planning. These processes involve the management of resources including
human, material, financial and time. These processes are also known as the functions of
managers.
The functions of managers
We will briefly examine five main functions of managers, namely: planning, organizing, directing,
23. Strategic Time ManagementStrategic Time Management
Time Management is the art of arranging, organizing, scheduling, and Budgeting one’s
time for the purpose of generating more effective work and productivity.
Time- Use it, do not abuse it.
What is Time Management
The Present
Yesterday is History,
Tomorrow is Mystery
But Today is a Gift,
That’s Why They call it
The Present.
Don’t try to please everyone , or you may end up pleasing no one.
Story of a father and son with a donkey.
24. Principles of Time Management
1. Determine what is urgent and important
We’re all faced with a lot of different tasks that fight for our attention and time each day. How do you decide what is
most worthy of your time?
The best approach is to prioritize those tasks that are both urgent and important. A task that is highly time sensitive
is urgent. Important tasks may not be time sensitive, but they are valuable and influential in the long run. Stephen
Covey’s time management grid can be extremely helpful for
seeing what tasks should be prioritized. A common mistake is to get bogged down with things that are urgent, but
not necessarily important. By using the grid you can be sure that you’re focusing on things that will have a real
impact.
2. Don’t over commit
If you’re someone that tends to say “yes” to every request for your time, you may find that all of these
commitments prevent you from making effective use of your time. Make an effort to only commit to things that you
can realistically accomplish with the time that you have available. You’ll also want to be sure that committing to
something won’t prevent you from being able to do other things that are important to you.
3. Have a plan for your time
Each of us is different and not everyone works in the same way. I prefer to have a detailed to-do list that keeps me
on task for each day and each week. Someone else may feel overwhelmed by a list of things to check off each day.
Regardless of your approach or preferences, you need to have some method of planning your time. Not having a
plan leads to a less efficient use of your time as you’ll wind up getting off task or working on things that really aren’t
important. Find a system of planning that works for you and use it in your daily routine.
4. Allow time for the unexpected
It never fails that something unexpected will come up and demand your time and attention. No matter how well you
plan your time, things are bound to come up — so make sure that you leave some time in your daily schedule.
When I’m creating my to-do list for any given day, I tend to assign myself tasks that I anticipate will take about
75% of my time for the day. That leaves another 25% for tasks that take longer than anticipated or for unexpected
things or emergencies that need to be addressed. Avoid the temptation to plan your time so full that you won’t be
able to deal with important issues that arise.
5. Handle things once
Rather than dealing with something several different times before completing a task, make an effort to handle it
only once. Email is a great example here. If you read through an email, make an effort to respond and take care of
the issue at one time. I’ve found myself at times reading through emails and then
deciding I’ll get back to it later. When I do get back to it, I have to read the email again and it winds up taking more
time. Multiply that by several times throughout the day and it adds up. Whenever possible, handle it once and be
done.
25. 6. Create realistic deadlines
You may have deadlines for your work that are set by a boss or a client, but it’s also important to set deadlines of
your own. If you do have deadlines from bosses or clients, it can be helpful to break up the project into smaller
chunks and set deadlines to keep yourself on track. If you don’t have anyone giving you deadlines for your work,
try setting your own deadlines. In addition to simply having deadlines, it’s also important that these deadlines
are realistic and will give you enough time to do your best work. If your boss or client is pushing for a deadline
that isn’t realistic, explain why you need more time and the possible consequences of the project being rushed,
and suggest a more realistic deadline.
7. Set goals for yourself and your time
Setting goals is an important part of achieving maximum efficiency. Your goals can include things that you want to
accomplish in a particular day, week, month, or year. Goals can be used with major accomplishments or smaller
tasks that are important to you. Whenever you’re setting goals, it’s best to set a date or deadline for achieving
the goal.
8. Develop routines
Habits and routines can be quite powerful. When used effectively, routines can help you to get more done and to
make better use of your time. I use routines to take care of several small tasks that I need to do each day.
First thing in the morning, I go through a routine that includes checking email and responding to messages
received overnight, a few minutes of networking via social media, moderating comments on my blogs, publishing
new content that has already been written and prepped, and a few other small tasks.
The result of my routine is that I can get a lot of small tasks off my daily to-do list in a small amount of time right
at the beginning of the day. After that, I can have the most productive part of my day for essential tasks
that require more of my time and concentration.
9. Focus on one thing at a time
Multitasking is overrated. Sure, in theory it would be awesome to be able to do several different things at once,
but the problem is that you won’t be able to do your best work when multitasking. If you focus on one thing at a
time you can move through tasks quicker and the quality of your work will be better.
Multitasking can lead to a lot of mistakes that you have to go back and correct later, which is wasted time.
26. 10. Eliminate or minimize distractions
Distractions are all around us. If you’re working at home you may have distractions like kids, other family
members, house guests, television, phone calls, and all kinds of personal responsibilities and tasks.
If you work in an office you’ll probably have plenty of distractions from co-workers. While it’s impossible to totally
eliminate distractions, you can improve your situation by minimizing them or avoiding them whenever possible.
For those who work at home, you can set up a dedicated office space with a door that you can close.
In an office, you may want to go in to work early to get some distraction-free time before co-workers arrive,
or maybe shift your lunch time so that you can get some peaceful time while most of your co-workers are away
at lunch. The key is to recognize the most significant distractions that are hurting your productivity, and then you
can work towards solutions that will minimize their impact.
11. Outsource tasks or delegate when possible
Part of being efficient with your time involves deciding what tasks require your own attention. There may be
things that could be done by someone else. Outsourcing work is a great option for freelancers and small business
owners. Delegating responsibilities may be an option if you’re in management or if you’re part of a team.
You can typically find qualified workers with very affordable rates, which allows you to dedicate your own time to
tasks that may be more important to you.
12. Leave time for fun and play
While the purpose of time management is to use your time wisely and to improve efficiency, it’s also important
that you don’t burn yourself out by working too much or too hard. Be sure to leave some time in your schedule
to do things with friends and family, or even on your own. Getting time away from work is essential for dealing
with stress, for refreshing your energy, and for living a balanced life.
Making efficient use of your time is important regardless of what type of job or career you have.
If you can make even small improvements in your own time management, you’ll see noticeable results in terms
of how much you can get done, the quality of your work, and your stress levels.
What approach do you take in your in time management? Are there things that work really well for you, or things
that don’t work for you? Feel free to share from your experience in the comments.

In any list of tasks, 80% of the Importance lies in 20% of the list.
27. Working with Parents & CommunityWorking with Parents & Community
Parents, families, educators and communities—there’s no better partnership to assure
that all students pre-K- to high school—have the support and resources they need to
succeed in school and in life.
How do parents, families, and communities get involved? Parent, family, and community
involvement means different things to different people. A research-based describes six types of
involvement— parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision making, and
collaborating with the community—that offer a broad range of school, family, and community
activities that can engage all parties and help meet student needs. Successful school-parent
community partnerships are not stand-alone projects or add-on programs but are well integrated
with the school’s overall mission and goals. Research and fieldwork show that parent-school-
partnerships improve schools, strengthen families, build community support, and increase student
achievement and success.
