The union of the Ottawa School Board Management needs to develop various tactics in order to manifest development in school. A school cannot be developed adequately without proper strategies put in place, the school and its management must work together to develop these strategies for it to realize valuable success. The strategies and tactics should be deeply rooted in the Board’s negotiations, strategy and decisions. The school management needs to realize the areas of need and critically address them (Michael, 2015).
The primary aim of the tactics and strategies is to meet the various strategies identified by the school’s needs. Needs of a school like the Ottawa School can be diverse, however, only the most important and urgent ones should be effectively addressed by all the urgency it deserves (Michael, 2015). The primary requirement of any given school should be to deliver success to the students; success attracts students and therefore, several students would want to join a successful school.
Most importantly, the school management board needs to identify the tactics that would adequately deliver good results to the students and school as a whole. A common problem that the school management board had previously realized is that there were a high number of students entering the school (Michael, 2015).
Principally, a school that is highly populated would not be able deliver good results. Therefore, for the school to deliver good results, population must be adequately in order to be controlled. However, the population cannot be followed by just blocking more students from entering the school but controlling a single classroom population (Michael, 2015).
Generally, a classroom should not have more than thirty students per classroom. The school through the board of management decided to accept more students but build more classrooms to control the population per single class. A class that is highly populated gives more burden to the teachers, consequently, teachers are overwhelmed in terms of management, grading, presentation, planning, engaging, and guiding every single learning process (Michael, 2015). These are basic guidelines for school management boards, through the meeting and the management’s discussion, the management agreed to solve any stalemate relating to a high population that has been experienced at the Ottawa School.
In a nutshell, for teachers to deliver at the Ottawa School, the teachers should be given an enabling environment; an environment that will give them opportunity to deliver. On the issue of the unfair salaries, the school management board thought that the school was offering good salaries; however, the management did not close the doors for further review (Michael, 2015). The school board management agreed to review salaries that were thought to be relatively lower. Low salaries make teachers to loose morale consequently leading to poor service delivery.
The director of finance at the Ottawa School was directed to present all the financial information; a true reflection of the schools financial position. Out of the financial position, the board through the meeting, agreed to give a little pay rise to the very deserving conditions. The pay rise targeted the lowly paid teachers and other support staff who were deemed to be strategic to the school’s general performance (Michael, 2015).
The major tactic behind the school’s general success is to adjust all areas that are strategic to the schools general performance. The board’s approval of the adjustment should be a major milestone in delivering good results to the school (Michael, 2015). Furthermore, other necessary and more important areas should also be addressed in a bid to realize a good performance. If these tactics are effectively applied the school would be very successful (Michael, 2015).
