Book description

Secrets to supervising for instructional improvement!



With continual emphasis on student outcomes and state and national standards, supervision of instruction is an indispensable function that inspires good teaching and promotes student learning. More than ever, effective supervision is vital to instructional improvement and this new edition of Supervision That Improves Teaching and Learning pinpoints the strategies and techniques that matter most.





Susan Sullivan and Jeffrey Glanz approach supervision as a process for empowering teachers with "super-vision" to see and reflect upon their teaching in a non-judgmental way for improved instructional delivery. Fully updated and revised, this best-selling book features





New observation tools centered on diversity and differentiated instruction


Pairing tools for the same focus-one to observe the teacher and a second for the students


New case studies on alternative approaches to supervision such as learning walks, lesson study, and book groups


A new chapter on creating transformational change


More on technology topics such as blogs, wikis, online and hybrid courses


Scenarios highlighting English Language Learners and exceptional students


Summary sheets and observation charts for use in the classroom


Reflective microlabs to reinforce material and concepts


Featuring 42 qualitative and quantitative observation tools, Supervision That Improves Teaching and Learning encourages hands-on development of essential supervision skills. "Sullivan and Glanz articulate a philosophy of supervision that puts student learning at the center, and puts the focus on talking about teaching (not teachers) in a deep and pragmatic way. The authors promote a vision of everyone in the school as a learner, and practical tools, steps, and wisdom to help schools realize that vision." -- Jeremy Kahan, Assistant Principal "This book will certainly prove to be useful as a guide for instructional leaders in both their on-going professional development as well as their daily practice tomorrow. It is not often that we have a book that is well grounded in the theory of instructional leadership while also being practical in its possible applications." -- Zach Kelehear, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs
