Description

This book is the first comprehensive study of how instructional supervision is actually practiced and how it affects teachers. The authors asked more than 800 K-12 classroom teachers how the best principals encourage teacher growth and professionalism. The answers provide an in-depth look at how teachers and principals interact. The authors' research proves that what principals say to teachers about teaching has a powerful effect, and that positive instructional leadership enhances students' learning. Teachers offer words of advice for every principal who aspires to instructional leadership: Find out what works best to motivate your teachers, and use it! The bottom line here is encouragement.
