Teaching: Its Management and Function Olga James-reid

TEACHING ITS MANAGEMENT AND FUNCTION REVISED EDITION TEACHING: Its Management and Function: This new edition is a response to the widely acclaimed first edition which was published in 1983. A new feature is the introduction of a wider Caribbean context with the inclusion of the educational systems of various territories, such as Barbados, The Bahams, Belize, Dominica, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, as well as the author's home territory, Jamaica. The basic assumption throughout this book is that educators at all stages will achieve their educational objectives by being aware of their role and applying the appropriate management skills and techniques in their day-to-day professional activities in the classroom and the school. At the time of the first edition, author Dr. Reid was a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Education at Mico Teachers' College, Jamaica. She is at present a Lecturer in the Faculty of Education, University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica. Teaching: Its Management and Function reflects the wide teaching experience Dr. Ried has had at every level-primary, secondary, tertiary and higher-of the Jamaican educational system. In addition, she has undertaken extensive studies in educational administration, and has several publications in the area. A graduate of Columbia University's Teachers' College, the University of the West Indies and Shortwood Teachers' College, she holds the Doctor of Education, Master of Education, Master of Arts in Educational Administration, the Bachelor of Science in Economics and Business Administration degrees, and the Teachers' Diploma.
