- Government which formulates educational policies, receives its mandate from the will of the people as conceptualized through an agreement that preserves their freedom while entrusting to it certain responsibilities that foster the common good of all people.
- Schools as government agencies exists for the general welfare of the citizenry and as such have an obligation not only to provide the best education but also to involve the entire community in developing educational policy if compact is to be fully realized.
- Educational administrators are therefore charged with developing two-way communication with all constituents.
- Realizing that no school operates in vacuum, successful school leadership requires administrators to blend the culture of the school with the culture of the community from which the children come.
- Cultural analysis should be carried out to try to identify the history, values, visions, rituals, traditions, beliefs and heros of various cultures from which the children come.
- This knowledge helps teachers, staff members and administrators to develop the curriculum and establish instructional strategies in relation to students learning patterns and interests.
