Unit 3
Introduction
In the previous unit, we studied the nature and purpose of Administration. We learned the
meaning of Administration, and examined who an Administrator is, in an organizational setting,
like the school.
Now, in Unit 3, we will discuss Principles and Practices in Organizations. We will learn
other additional content as specified in the objectives below.
Objectives
School organization refers to how schools arrange the resources of time, space and
personnel for maximum effect on student learning. The school’s organization plan addresses
those issues that affect the school as a whole, such as the master schedule, the location of staff in
different rooms, and how assignment of aides tom teachers or teams.
How a school is organized is a matter for the staff to determine, and a school’s
organization should reflect the staff’s commitment to the success of all students. Every aspect of
the instructional program will convey the values and goals of the staff toward students and their
learning.
We are constantly surrounded by organization. They employ us, sell to us, provide for us,
protect us and give us along with others what we want, need, or are required to do. An
organization may be small (like the mechanic’s workshop) or large (like the Federal Ministry of
Education). Large organizations are however, usually complex as they have multiple goals and
more people working in them.
One characteristic that all organizations share is that they are composed of people. These
people have in common the fact that their activities are coordinated and that they, therefore
cooperate with each other directly or indirectly in other to achieve a goal. Cooperation in a
venture that requires the efforts of a number of people means that actions must occur and jobs be
done in short, people must behave in certain ways so that the organization fulfils its purpose.
In Nigeria for instance, we have organizations like the Nigerian Union of Teachers, The
Nigerian Science Teacher Association, The Nigerian University Students Association, The
National Association of Educational Administrators and Planners (NAEAP), The Nigerian
Chambers of Commerce, the Nigerian Bar Association, Taxi Drivers Association, Schools,
Colleges, Universities, Hospitals, and so on.
From the above questions it is clear that to describe an organization, one requires the
consideration of a number of properties it possesses.
