Abstract

School management is an organizational activity in which school administrators, under certain social and historical conditions, lead and guide teachers and staff through certain organizational structures and systems and by certain methods and means, give full play to the optimal overall functioning of the school's resources such as people, money, materials, time, space and information, and fruitfully achieve the goals of the school's work. In short, school management is the activity of managers to achieve the educational goals of the school through certain organizational forms and working methods. In cooperation with teachers, principals observe, understand and solve educational and teaching problems from the perspective of emotional intelligence, and promote teachers' professional development while realizing students' comprehensive and individualized development.
