Abstract
Attempts to conceptualize a framework for understanding and implementing self-management in school from a multi-level perspective. Proposes that there are three levels of self-management in school; namely, the school level, the group level and the individual level. Each level of self-management follows a self-propelling and cyclic process comprising five stages. By following these self-management cycles, the school, the groups and its individual staff members are sensitive to environmental changes and capable of self-learning and development. In order to implement self-management successfully, various conditions at the three levels are to be fulfilled. Also discusses the importance of school leadership and mission. It is hoped that this framework could provide a comprehensive view of self-management in school and consequently contribute to the worldwide ongoing school management reforms and school development research.Keywords
