Synopsis

School leaders can't improve education all by themselves. In fact, they don't have to. Because with the right plans and systems in place, you can get your entire faculty focused on continuous improvement and committed to advancing student learning. Distinguished educator and author Carl D. Glickman explains how and provides all of the guidelines and components you need, including How to provide teacher assistance through clinical supervision, peer coaching, critical friends, and action research groups. How to observe the teaching and learning process with teaching frameworks, open-ended questionnaires, samples of student work, and test scores. How to work with teachers through directive, collaborative, and nondirective approaches. Realistic scenarios describe how to succeed with teachers of diverse backgrounds and skill levels. Checklists, forms, and examples make it easy to adapt the book's successful approaches to your own situation.
