Principal's Functions for Implementation of K 12 Curriculum in Junior High School for Teachers at Magdalena Integrated National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Management is a practice rather than a science or a profession though containing elements of both according to Drucker (1977). Principals may need two types of vision: one vision of their schools and the roles they play in those schools, and another vision of how the change process will proceed (Manasse, 1985). The above scenarios greatly motivated the present researcher to find the function of the principals to find the program and projects to have the educational outcome to the students, teachers, and community

METHODS

Descriptive designed with intense accuracy to surface out the meaningful aspects of the data from those phenomena observed during the process of the investigation. One set of questionnaires was issued to the actual respondents of this study.
