After reading all the materials shared and the contributions from all team members of this collaborative task I want to share a critical point of view concerning the implications of our plan from collaborative task 1 in the educational management of the institution.
First of all I want to say that I found quiet interesting to see that our country is very well structured on terms of theory and laws that benefit educational management. Each school has the autonomy to make decisions and changes in order to improve their educational quality and serve the students better.
It seems to me that what we are lacking in the institutions is the human factor, the people with the leadership necessary to face the changes of a global world.
I think many of the school administrator continue doing this job just because they have been there forever and not because they prove to make changes on the way schools are manage. Going back to one of the videos shared in one of the forums, a teacher or administrator can have all the studies and qualifications but if he/she does not have the leadership value to make decisions, to seek for innovation and make real changes; we end up continuing working under the same paradigms of a hundred years ago.
At UNAD I see that we are lacking a lot of innovations and good educational management because mistake seem to repeat over and over, semester after semester, no matter what the reality is.
The project presented from us on collaborative work 1, can be put in place easily at our institution because it does not demands a lot of monetary resources but of course, it demands management to take place.
Will it ever happen? will UNAD take the time to look into our proposals to seek for innovation and changes that are truly needed from students?
Is there good educational management at our school, or we are lacking, as many institutions do, the most important factor to lead to change: leadership!
