Editorial Reviews

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.

From the Back Cover

“This book is outstanding in content, structure, format and usability. As an instructor in educational leadership, I find the book to be the most comprehensive tool in the field. I know I am providing education leaders with a life-long resource.”
–Alicia Cotabish, University of Arkansas at Little Rock

  • Makes the tasks of supervision relevant to various stakeholders by showing school culture in the context of the larger culture and by connecting school improvement to the local community and larger society
  • Addresses topics that are critical to school leaders by integrating expanded discussions of diversity, distributive and contextual leadership, and how new IDEA legislation affects teachers and leaders
  • Reviews new research on effective professional development, critiques modern forms of “teacher-proof curriculum,” and examines guidelines for effective action research

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy read, June 9, 2008
By L. Morris (Bakersfield, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very easy to read. Very practical knowledge. The author's bias or opinion tends to wear through frequently, but easily digestible information for a textbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars SuperVision: A most usable tool, July 26, 2007
This text provides insightful and hands-on material for the prospective educational administrator. The book will challenge the reader to lead with vision, dismissing perceptions of old of the autocratic supervisor. Instead, the reader with an open mind will be inspired to lead with conviction, incorporating the ideal of collaborating with fellow professionals to improve student learning through improved instruction and assessment. With its end-of-the-chapter practicioner reflection and varied exercises, this text provides a personal and practical mean by which the reader will be able to relate, reflect and practice thier newfound ideas and perceptions for school leadership.
