An exploratory study on the new consultation system for school management in order to enhance a relationship between school and local community

本研究旨在厘清新谘询制度在学校管理方面的潜力，以加强学校与社区的关系。个案研究表明，退休校长以各种方式扮演顾问的角色，如日常顾问、行政顾问、有关机构的协调者和学校之间的调适者。另一方面，作为学校顾问的大学研究人员具有教育支持者、咨询师和教育实践概念化或理论化的解释者的角色。第三个案例是一所与当地社区关系紧密的先进模范学校，但该学校从未安装过咨询系统。结果显示了新的学校管理咨询系统的潜在需求和任务。首先，这所学校的理事会制度也是一种咨询制度。第二，在这所学校建立咨询制度的潜力是推动学校改革的进一步发展。第三，已经建立咨询制度的学校应该对当地社区的要求更加负责。

This study aims to clarify the potential of the new consultation system for school management in order to enhance a relationship between school and local community. Case study shows that a retired principal filled the role of a consultant in various ways such as a daily consultant, an adviser for the administrators, a coordinator for the institutions concerned, and an adjuster among schools. On the other hand, a university researcher as a school consultant had the roles of an educational supporter, a counselor, and a interpreter of educational practice for conceptualization or theorization. The third case was an advanced model school in terms of tight relationship with local community, but the consultation system had never been installed to this school. The results show the potential needs and tasks for the new consultation system for school management. Firstly the council system in this school functions as a consultation system as well. Secondly the potential of installation of consultation system into this school is to bring further school reform. Thirdly the schools already installed the consultation system should be more responsible for the requests from local communities.
