School Management and Multi-Professional Partnerships explores the personnel structure within the context of schools. It is aimed at the School Business Manager (SBM) to provide an overview of the different relationships they will form and manage in their day-to-day work. Where schools do not have an appointed School Business Manager, the role is instead fulfilled by the school’s leadership team (e.g. Middle Managers, Bursars, Deputies and Headteachers) and this book will also act as a guide for these personnel. Internationally, school staffing structures are evolving within the context of schools as extended and community centers of learning. This means that, in addition to managing internal staff, SBMs will increasingly encounter other staff and professionals who work with schools. This new context demands alternative and innovative strategies to develop new working relationships. This book provides examples of such strategies. It has been written by and is based on the experiences of these other professionals, and through such case studies builds up a framework for action for School Business Managers. The book is divided into two sections: internal/in-house professionals, including teaching assistants and administrators external professionals, including facilities management, the health professional, the education law officer, and those responsible for transport.Each chapter: - provides a brief overview of the relevant activity (finance, health work, etc) and the legal situation regarding the role - gives examples of good practice encountered in this activity area - identifies the key issues in this activity area - describes the terms of reference for the role as perceived by the worker - suggests strategies to adopt as a SBM to maximize the effectiveness of the role for the school.This book will provide all practicing and trainee SBMs with complete information on which they can base their own learning and build their own relationships to make for an effectively managed school system. It will be invaluable core reading for School Business Management courses (all levels) and school management professional development courses.
