One of the most important functions of management is human resource

management and oversight. It is in charge of establishing policies under which
the staff will operate, attracting and recruiting qualified members for the
organization in accordance with federal and state equal opportunity guidelines,
ensuring high staff morale, providing adequate supervision and quality control,
utilizing group dynamics and cooperative approaches in the achievement of
organizational goals, and providing creative ways to avoid such problems as
undue stress and resentment. Managers must also be able to collaborate well
with exclusive representatives and various publics in general. Lastly, employees
should be reviewed on a regular basis in an objective, dependable, and fair
manner so that performance may be improved and meritorious employees can
be duly rewarded.

A supervisor must support and promote activities that will stimulate instructors
and ensure their continued development. He must realize that each teacher is
unique and strive to establish a positive emotional environment in which to
assist the staff.
