Abstract
School-based shared decision-making is defined as a process and a discipline for empowering school-site stakeholders to participate in school improvement planning and implementation activities. Likewise, empowerment can also be defined as "the process in which a leader or manager shares his or her power with subordinates" (Sims & Lorenzi, 1992, p. 170).
With these definitions as a foundation, this paper will present the advantages and challenges that encompass shared decision-making in schools today. Discussion will present advantages for both faculty and administration, and also focus on the challenges of shared decision-making.
