Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This ground-breaking text in instructional leadership and supervision continues to challenge and reshape the conventional purposes, practices, structure, and language of supervision. The text's emphasis on school culture, teachers as adult learners, developmental leadership, democratic education, and collegial supervision has helped redefine the meaning of supervision and instructional leadership for both scholars and practitioners. This Seventh Edition continues the book's trend-setting tradition by placing instructional leadership and school improvement within a community and societal context; providing new examples of direct assistance, professional development, and action research; and presenting an entire new chapter, "Supervision for What? Democracy and the Good School." Building on the success of previous editions, the Seventh Edition addresses hot issues such as school improvement, constructivist teaching, professional development, Chaos Theory, and state-mandated standards. This is a resource that students purchase, use in class, and reference throughout their careers as education leaders.

Rating: - Development of Better Schools
SuperVision proposes a developmental approach to supervision and administration to better our schools. A "one size fits all" administrative approach to running a school has proven ineffective - this book helps supervisors tailor their approach to each individual staff member for effective administration. With effective supervision of instruction our staff and schools can grow and reach their goal of improving student outcomes.

This textbook is very well written and insightful in the areas of supervision in leadership in schools. It is apparent that the Authors took great care in the design and compilation of the book. I am more than halfway through it and the ideas and scenarios are true to life and very inspiring.
