Abstract
Control process is the last managerial function and takes place after the fulfilment of all others managerial functions. In practice, however, control is connected more to the planning because:
-
First, planning determines the targets and the methods for their achievement, while control investigates the point up to which those will be implemented.
-
Second, control helps, through the feedback system, the management of an organization in the decision-making process and the determining of new plans, aimed at the further improvement of organizational efficiency.
In the field of the school departments, control process is one of the basic functions of the school head since it helps to ascertain the smooth or the non-smooth development of the realization of teaching. This chapter:
-
Analyses the meaning, the purpose, the significance and the types of control that are taking place within a typical organization
-
Refers to the characteristics of an effective control system and examines the reasons that provoke reaction to the employees during the period of assessment
-
Examines the meaning and the purpose of assessment in the field of the school departments and presents the historical development of different assessment systems of the educators
-
Finally presents case studies from real school scenarios
