School Principal’s Strategy In Realizing Effective School Management At Mim Sidokerto

Abstract

This study discusses the importance of understanding school effectiveness, not only to improve the quality of education but also as part of the implementation of decentralization and regional autonomy policies.  The government targets the achievement of equity, relevance, and efficiency in the administration of education, where studies on school effectiveness have been proven to help address issues related to quality improvement. The author emphasizes the need to discuss effective school management because many schools have not yet succeeded in achieving their goals. An effective school is one that achieves the targets it has set for itself.

This research uses a qualitative method and focuses on effective school management with the hope of providing aa conceptual contribution. Based on observations at MIM Sidokerto, which has successfully implemented effective school management, the author concludes that the school is able to produce good quality graduates, although it still faces several operational challenges that can be overcome.
