A Thai Tale: School Business Management beyond the Classroom
Robinson, Ann
School Business Affairs, v78 n4 p16-19 Apr 2012
The author is fairly familiar with the work dimensions of a business manager and has pretty much attended most of the professional development "how-to" sessions on everything from asset management to school budgets and beyond. When she thinks about what business managers do in schools and how much of what they do actually adds value, she realizes that although school business management is a worthy career, they all can, in the right context, extend themselves further by stepping out of their comfort zone to wander confidently into new territory. In other words, the author believes their skills are easily transferable. They are, after all, a demographically stable group with a wealth of life experience among them that bodes well for travel in foreign lands beyond the classroom. In this article, the author describes how a 12-day trip to Thailand with 22 students had a significant impact on her outlook.
