Teaching-Learning Resources (TLRs) are crucial elements needed for teaching-learning activities. The effective use of TLRs may not be realized if the head teacher's leadership and managerial skills are not brought to bear on the available TLRs in schools. The study explored the role of head teachers in the management of TLRs, school climate, and school tuition and also empirically investigated how these roles influenced the overall academic performance in standardized examinations. A sequential exploratory mixed design approach was employed. The qualitative phase involved interviews with 48 head teachers and the second quantitative phase involved a collation of primary data from 500 students and 80 teachers from 500 schools across the nation. Instruments used in both qualitative and quantitative phases were tested for validity and reliability.Performance was measured using average performance in WASSCE examinations for the year 2014. Inferential analysis including the measures of internal consistency, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model were conducted.

Zusammenfassung
Lady Adriana Sutton has long adored Colton Wyndham, to whom she has been promised by an agreement of courtship and betrothal since childhood. As a young girl, she was wounded by Colton's stubborn refusal to comply with his father's wishes and by his angry departure for a life of adventure and danger in the British army.
No longer the plain tomboy Colton had spurned, Lady Adriana has blossomed into a much desired beauty. Yet the only man she desires is the decorated hero who has finally come home to his rightful title. Arrogant and seductive as ever, he remains averse to the idea of their betrothal, in spite of his growing desire for her.
Forced into a courtship with this spirited woman, Colton's heroic heart is moved by her charm, grace and sensuality. But a secret from his past may doom their burgeoning love ... even as the treacherous schemes of a sinister rival threaten to steal the remarkable lady from his arms forever.
Performed by Lynn Redgrave.
