1. a) Agree or Disagree: Every manager may at one point in his managerial experience
may practice the Autocratic, Democratic, Lasse-faire Management Style. Explain your
answer. b) Cite situations by which each management style becomes most
beneficial to the organization.
Agree. Managers within educational institutions often encounter diverse situations that
demand varying approaches to leadership.
Laissez-faire Style: This style might be utilized when dealing with highly skilled and
motivated individuals or teams within the institution. Allowing considerable autonomy can
inspire creativity and innovation among educators or researchers, promoting a sense of
ownership in their work.
b) Cite situations where each management style becomes most beneficial to the
organization.
Autocratic Style: During urgent crises like disasters or security threats, employing an
autocratic management style could be the most efficient approach. For example, if a fire
erupts in a school building, a manager may need to promptly and decisively act to
guarantee the safety of students and staff without relying on consensus-building
processes.
and even students can result in more comprehensive and inclusive educational initiatives,
fostering a sense of ownership and buy-in from all involved parties.

As a Master Teacher I at Kalayaan National High School for nearly three years, my
role involves not only teaching but also mentoring other teachers. My adaptability in
this role is paramount, especially in guiding and supporting fellow educators. I firmly
believe in embracing change while honoring past practices, utilizing mistakes as
learning opportunities, which has made me more pragmatic, particularly in demanding
situations within the educational realm.
Here are some of ideas in line with the benefits of adopting Participative Management
in the context of School-Based Management:
Responsive to Local Needs: SBM enables schools to address the unique needs of
their students and community. By involving local stakeholders in decision-making,
schools can tailor educational programs and initiatives to better serve the specific
requirements of their students.

Regarding monitoring progress, SBM ensures a holistic approach to assess the quality
and quantity of teaching and learning. This includes:
Profiling and Assessment: Schools under SBM create profiles that analyze various
aspects such as student performance, teacher effectiveness, infrastructure, and
community engagement. Regular assessments help in identifying strengths and areas
needing improvement.
Utilization of Statistics and Exam Results: Analyzing examination results and statistics
aids in understanding academic strengths and weaknesses. This information enables
educators to tailor teaching strategies and interventions to address students' needs
effectively.
Calibrating Student Needs: Through SBM, schools can pinpoint specific areas where
students might require additional support or enrichment. This data-driven approach
helps in developing targeted interventions to cater to individual student needs.
a. Alignment with Vision and Mission: Ensure that the SIP aligns with the school's
vision and mission. Every goal should contribute to the overarching objectives of the
institution.

to ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff without the need for lengthy
consultations.
b2. DEMOCRATIC- The school is planning a major curriculum reform.
In situations that require input from various stakeholders, such as teachers, parents,
and students, a democratic style is beneficial. The principal, using a democratic
approach, can involve relevant parties in decision-making processes, gather diverse
perspectives, and foster a sense of collaboration, ultimately leading to a more widely
accepted and effective curriculum change.
b3. LASSE-FAIRE - The school has a team of experienced and highly skilled teachers
working on a long-term research project.
In situations where the team is capable of self-management and the task requires
creativity and autonomy, a laissez-faire style can be beneficial. The principal, acting as
a laissez-faire leader, can provide the necessary resources and support but allows the
team of teachers to make their own decisions and explore innovative approaches in
the research project.

Agree. As the old cliché “nothing is permanent in the world” it also occur in every
institutions where the principal considered as the manager, he/she has the power to
practice whatever managerial style that might he/she think is suit for the school

considering the personality, skill sets and scholastic achievements of the teachers that
he/she need to handle. We live in a world where in diversity is uprising and thinking out of
the box can play a big factor in able to school to have better progress.
Autocratic Style: is one where the manager/principal tells staff/teachers what decisions
have been made if that is the case expectations and responsibilities are clear
because control is at top management level, there is no discussion and jobs get done
quicker.
b) Cite situations where each management style becomes most beneficial to the
organization.
Autocratic Style: There are several cases and instances where immediate decisions are
highly required for example in our school Benigno Aquino Jr. High School last December
5 of the current year teachers and learners the occupance of building 2 constantly felt the
shaking of the said building to address the agony and to avoid possible worst scenario
our
dear principal Dr. Ginalyn Dignos instruct all the concerns to immediately evacuate the
area and halt the remaining time for afternoon session and officially declare in the next
morning that all classes are suspended and not allowing anybody to conduct classes in
face to face manner until prior notice (clearance) from the CDRRMC and SDRRMC has
being offered. She didn’t ‘consult the department heads and teachers about her decision
and she might think this is the best to all concerns and as the leader of the school she is
entitled to it and I considered it as as example of autocratic management style.
Democratic Style: Two heads are always better that one the same goes to any
institution seeking opinions and having collaboration with your subordinates always end
up in positive results, hence in our school series of meeting are conducted to finally come

up with the better idea that beneficial to teachers and students in every activities such as
Christmas ball, Benignians Got Talent, Area Meet 2023 consolidated ideas from different
teachers are highly entertained and eventually it always ends up in positive manner.
Laissez-faire Style: In the recently concluded CANOSA B AREA MEET 2023 some of
our athletes documents required to have a signatory from the school head or principal the
problem is our principal is having a 3 day leave of absence or she is not around the
school for convention head teachers decided that they can taking care of the signing In
the presence of our school heads of course with her permission in able for the players to
qualify upon submission of the said documents.

To address the root causes and underlying factors that impact student outcomes, a
deeper approach is needed. School leaders need access to holistic data that
UNIVERSITY OF CALOOCAN CITY

represents
not only quantitative outcomes, but also insights into the school’s learning conditions,
such as the relationship between teachers and students.
That brings us to one of the most critical aspects of improvement planning and data
collection: diversity of voice. To create a school improvement plan that is equitable
and more likely to deliver on its promises, school leaders must reach beyond their own
perceptions of their schools’ strengths and challenges. They need to bring more
voices to the table and ensure that their improvement plans reflect the authentic needs
of their school community. Leaders can do this by listening to the very people that
school improvement plans aim to serve: teachers, students, and families.
There’s no shortage of school improvement plans out there, mainly because many
schools are required by their districts or states to submit them. These plans, usually
based on student outcome data, can be useful documents. But too often, good
intentions to craft meaningful plans buckle under the weight of compliance. A school
leader’s time is always stretched too thin, and their list of responsibilities seems to
grow daily. It’s easy to see how the pressure to comply leads to plans that aren’t
treated as living documents that can be continually returned to for reflection, iteration,
and learning.
