Key points

Distributed leadership shares responsibilities among teachers.
Under the RTE Act, School Management Committees have three-fourths members from parents.
School Development Plans set goals and actions.

Explanation

Data on attendance and learning guides decisions.
Classroom observation with feedback improves teaching.
Community involvement builds ownership.
Safe and inclusive culture is a leadership responsibility.
Leaders model integrity and punctuality.

Step by step

Identify the concept or theory the situation is testing.
Recall the thinker, principle or policy behind it.
Prefer options that are child-centred, inclusive and evidence-based; reject punitive or rote options.

Examples
