site-based management  

Definition

  • Site-based management, or school-based decision making (SBDM), as it is more commonly known, is an innovative reform that swept the nation during the 1990s in an attempt to allow building level decision making for curricular and other educational issues. SBDM was designed to improve student learning by reducing districtwide bureaucracies while creating opportunities for shared decision making by educators, parents, and community members.
