"The Individual Pupil in the Management of Class and School" is a foundational treatise on the principles of educational administration and the necessity of tailoring school management to the needs of the individual student. Written by Paul R. Mort, a prominent figure in 20th-century educational research, this work explores how administrative structures and classroom practices can be organized to better serve the diverse capabilities and requirements of every child.
Mort argues that effective school management must move beyond rigid, one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, he advocates for a system that recognizes individual differences, suggesting specific techniques for classification, promotion, and instructional adjustment. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the role of the principal, the organization of special classes, and the psychological foundations of individualization. By emphasizing the pupil as the central unit of educational concern, Mort provides a blueprint for creating more responsive and equitable learning environments.
This volume remains a significant historical text for educators, administrators, and scholars interested in the evolution of modern pedagogy and the development of student-centered schooling. It offers deep insights into the early professionalization of school management and the enduring challenge of balancing institutional efficiency with individual growth.
