The topic of SBM interests me. I think the list of positives and negatives that we reviewed in class today confirmed for me that my school follows this management style. In my head, the pros outweigh the cons. But I have to wonder if that is because I'm either used to it, or because it might suit my personality.
If the data was available, would I find that more schools have SBM than don't? It appears to be in the best interest of the students, but does involve more work on everyone's part. Central office must be willing to yield to the site manager - that may be the initial hurdle. Then the principal must manage the situation in such a way as to hold teachers accountable for high quality instruction (which comes at the cost of extra work for them) while coordinating collaboration and communication across the board. That's a tall order, requiring strong leadership and determination, but I think it has a big payoff.
