Abstract

          This research aimed to (1) study the current and desired conditions of school management to promote innovations in learning management, (2) examine the best practices of successful schools, and (3) develop management strategies for Maemornwittaya School under the Chiang Rai Primary Educational Service Area Office 1 to foster innovative learning management. A mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, was utilized, with data collection conducted through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The sample comprised school administrators, teachers, and educational personnel.           The findings indicated that the current state of school management to promote learning innovation was at a high level, with innovations in educational technology receiving the highest average scores. However, innovation in assessment practices remained at a lower level. Regarding best practices, successful schools adopted comprehensive strategies, including systematic planning, personnel motivation, and technological integration. Consequently, the developed school management strategies to enhance learning innovation consisted of five main components: (1) flexible and technology-driven management; (2) integrated curriculum development; (3) training and knowledge exchange; (4) allocation of modern resources and technologies; and (5) restructuring management to accommodate changes.  The study highlights that systematically supporting innovative practices in school management can sustainably elevate students' learning quality and promote teachers' professional development.
