Break down barriers between departments. People in teaching, special education, accounting, food service, administration, curriculum development and research etc. Develop strategies for increasing the cooperation among groups and individual people. Planning time will facilitate this dynamic. Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for teachers and students asking for perfect performance and new levels of productivity.
Exhortations create adver- sarial relationships.
The bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system and thus lie beyond the control of teachers and students. Substitute leadership and the eternal dive for quality and joy of learning. This means, inter alia, abolition of the annual or merit rating and of management by objective. The responsibility of all educational manages must be changed from quantity to quality. Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement for everyone.
