deliberate process of deciding ahead of time, the future course of action that a person
wishes to pursue in order to reach set goals. This definition suggests that planning is
part and parcel of every man’s endavour politically, socially, economically and
decisions for future action with the aim of achieving set educational goals and
objectives through effective use of scarce resources. It provides the tool for
educational needs of a nation and the direction education should take and the

Organizing: Organizing is and act or art of putting decisions in place for the smooth
design of individual jobs within the organization. Decisions must be made about the
duties and responsibilities of individual jobs, as well as the manner in which the duties
should be carried out. Decisions made about the nature of jobs within the organization
are generally called “job design” decisions. Organizing at the level of the organization
a particular job involves how best to design individual jobs to most effectively use
labor and specialization, which assumed that the more narrow the job content, the
more proficient the individual performing the job could become. However, experience
has shown that it is possible for jobs to become too narrow and specialized. For
example, how would you like to screw lids on jars one day after another, as you might

have done many decades ago if you worked in company that made and sold jellies and
jams? When this happens, negative outcomes result, including decreased job
controlling the subordinates. Controlling involves ensuring that performance does not
deviate from standards. Controlling consists of three steps, which include (1)
standards, and (3) taking corrective action when necessary. Performance standards are
often stated in monetary terms such as revenue, costs, or profits but may also be stated
quality or customer service. The behavioral sciences have made many contributions to
attitudes provide important information as to how managers can most effectively lead
subordinates. For example, this research tells us that to become effective at leading,

managers must first understand their subordinates’ personalities, values, attitudes, and
about the ways in which workers can be energized to put forth productive effort.

for survival. Humans are influenced by the communication of the real world and vice-
organizations are set up to integrate people into the new “communicative” world.
Effective communication in a school setting allows change and the proper shaping of
the world, as well as providing a great advantage for the school in reaching its

fundamental role in the shaping of education, students, who have the potential to
