&>This text integrates the core instructional leadership tasks of all principals: supervision, evaluation, and professional development. It is a practical, hands-on approach based on sound theory and research.

 

The text provides both a conceptual frame and practical exercises that contemporary principals can use in their supervision, evaluation, and professional development activities. The models for these tasks are research-based and reflect the current realities that confront principals and others committed to improving instruction.

 

Practical exercises are embedded in the Theory into Practice activities, as well as in case analyses, portfolio development, and communication. All the exercises are keyed to monitoring the progress and evaluating the performance of students.  Activities throughout the text are linked to the ISLLC Standards.  Also cases from outstanding principals include superintendents' reactions to key issues. Students can build personal portfolios as they engage in the portfolio exercises in each chapter.

 

This book considers both the formative and summative aspects of the principal's role in working with teachers. It also underscores the responsibility of principals to both identify potential areas of improvement and assist teachers in improvement through appropriate professional development. It contains research-based observational tools that practitioners can use to collect classroom data.

  • The text integrates the fundamentals of supervision, evaluation, and professional development using research-based observational tools that practitioners can use to collect classroom data.
  • Each chapter has a series of Theory into Practice exercises that correlate to relevant ISLLC Standards to provide reinforcement in the practical application of the standards for students. The appendix includes the standards and their indicators.
  • Chapter exercises and activities demonstrate the day-to-day relationships among the three responsibilities.
  • The text illustrates how principals can assist teachers through  understanding the relationships among informal supervision, formal evaluation, and professional development.
  • The text is very “real-world” with numerous examples and cases to illustrate how the informal process of supervision and the formal process of evaluation are complementary, but distinct responsibilities of principals.
  • The nature of the text facilitates on-line instruction through clear and concise development of concepts; the embedded activities and exercises provide a forum for on-line discussion and practice.
