1. What is the role of the School’s mission? Are there limits to these values
system?
The school’s mission signifies a guideline in the defined purpose of the school
itself. It shows proper direction on what the school is supposed to meet the objectives
and goals set towards the satisfaction and gratification of all concerned. The mission is
meant to stir the institution towards what it was purposely built for and what it wants to
do for its stakeholders, to its surrounding community and to a general scale, the world.
The mission statement acts as a “North Star”, where it provides the direction that is
to be followed by the organization.
The School’s mission is not as flexible as the school’s vision, hence it is pretty
much definite and limited to how it was originally created by the school founder/s which
was affected by their values, culture, moral and religious belief and by their surrounding
circumstances such as social, political and economic phenomena during its creation.
Yes, principal’s leadership should always beholden the school’s educational plan.
First, Principals are appointed in their position on the precept that they are the
administrator’s representative to execute and implement the school education plan
which was crafted and reviewed thoroughly by the former. Second, as the school’s
representative his actions and decisions are expected to be in accordance with the
school mandate, any act outside it will be considered an ultra vires act. Third, “ A spring
cannot rise higher than its source”, In the same way a principal’s power cannot go
beyond from its mandate.
Thus, The school’s education plan, to a great extent, cascades from the school’s
vision and mission. It is completely unwise for a school principal to employ a leadership
style inappropriate or not inclined towards the realization of the school’s overall
educational plan. This plan should serve as the principal’s compass in shepherding the
faculty and studentry.
4. At what moment can the school safely say that it’s education mission has been
fulfilled?
I would right away answer, that it is that moment when it was able to produced
alumni with graduate attributes based on the school or institution’s goals, mission,
vision and objectives, that is of course manifested in their work, in their relations with
their fellowmen and in the society at large. It is in that moment when all stakeholders
in the school – administrators, personnel and staff, teacher students and parents work
collaboratively toward the continued and consistent implementation of the standard
protocol and operation of the institution.
On a second thought, A mission defines the institution, fuels the institution and
perpetuates the institution. There is no red light to doing what the school is meant to
do from the start. Although the mission maybe fulfilled on a day to day basis, there is
no telling when the mission can have the DONE and OVER WITH Stamp.
