Education

This classic market leading text in instructional leadership and supervision continues to challenge the conventional purposes, practices, structure, and language of supervision.

The text's emphases on school culture, teachers as adult learners, developmental leadership, democratic education, and collegial supervision have helped redefine the meaning of supervision and instructional leadership for both scholars and practitioners. This Sixth 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 Sixth 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.

• Presents a new paradigm for supervision, calling for supervision to be collegial rather than hierarchical, the province of teachers as well as supervisors. The focus is on teacher growth rather than compliance, teacher collaboration, and continuous, reflective inquiry (Ch. 1).

• Covers effective schools research and the transition to school improvement (Ch. 3).

• Addresses developmental supervision, the supervisory behavior continuum, and four interpersonal approaches to supervision (directive control, directive informational, collaborative, and nondirective) (Chs. 7-12).

• Covers technical skills of supervision: assessment, planning, observation, research, program evaluation, and teacher evaluation (Chs. 13-15).

• Incorporates the tasks of supervision: direct assistance (clinical supervision, peer coaching, etc.), group development, professional development, curriculum development, and action research (Chs. 16-20).

• Covers shared governance for instructional improvement: premises, principles, and models (Ch. 20).

• Addresses change, including discussions of change from the leader's view, change from the teacher's view, chaos theory applied to school and classroom change, and creating a culture for change.

• Presents a new chapter, “Supervision for What? Democracy and the Good School” (Ch. 22) that discusses and correlates closely to new ISLLC Standards.

• Views school culture in the context of the larger culture (Ch. 2) and connects school improvement to the local community and larger society (Ch. 3) making the tasks of supervision relevant to various stakeholders.

• Integrates an expanded discussion of diversity as it relates to adult learning and development (Ch. 4), addressing a topic that is critical to school leaders.

• Varied assessments, such as classroom and school observations, constructivist activities, and reviews of teacher and student work products (Chs. 13-15), illustrate a broad range of options.

• Explores mentoring, study groups, and self-directed growth as models of direct assistance (Ch. 16).

• Reviews new research on effective professional development (Ch. 18), critiques modern forms of “teacher-proof curriculum” (Ch. 19), and examines guidelines for effective action research (Ch. 20).

All chapters conclude with “Exercises,” “References,” and “Suggested Readings.”
