Decentralizing the School: The Necessity of Teacher Involvement in School Management

The role of school management is to ensure that the school is run in efficient and orderly ways, providing an ideal education environment for teachers and students. Effective school management can substantially promote teacher professional development whereas flawed school management undermines the teacher’s job satisfaction and identification with the teaching career, leading to increased turnover rates (Stockard & Lehman, 2004; Tang, 2024). Also, the leadership style of the school is closely related to the students’ quality of learning, making a significant difference to their interest, motivation, and outcomes (Robinson & Gray, 2019; Yu et al., 2021). Therefore, developing legitimate school management patterns is of vital significance for educational quality enhancement.
