Education-sector management practices related to school orientation, enhancement of teacher competency, organizational model, and curriculum management can all affect students’ learning and perseverance. The more a school’s administration employs management practices that are known to be effective, the better the students’ grades. The administration can catalyze a school’s energies and enhance its teachers’ abilities to foster their students’ success. This effect is even greater when power is shared among the school’s staff, parents, and students.
