The management and strategic alignment of educational institutions are not unlike the activities of a pilot. Unfortunately, a differentiated overview is often lacking, making it difficult to act directly and accurately. Without a functioning cockpit, one must fly by direct sight, which cannot be the optimal state in the context of the quality discussion surrounding schools. Florian Fischbock provides a systematic and practical tool for the evaluation and qualitative coordination of educational institutions: the Cockpit Educational Management. He illustrates what constitutes good teaching, how lessons can be optimally designed, what specific learning effects are triggered in students, and how educators and personnel managers can effectively take action themselves. A strategic management approach through suitable leadership tools.
