Description
Book SynopsisAs pedagogical leaders, principals and vice-principals must necessarily prioritize teacher supervision. Whether used individually or with a group, this effective approach centers on improving educational services for students and optimizing their academic achievement. However, teacher supervision is influenced by ambiguities and several types of challenges related to the concept of supervision, the actors' perceptions and beliefs, and the various systemic structures at play. This competency standards framework presents the knowledge, the know how to do, the know how to be, and the know how to become every successful teacher supervisor should possess, and proposes for each order a summary of existing literature and accessible theories. This competence reference manual will help supervisors acquire invaluable pedagogical and relational skills to perform high-quality, high-results supervision.
Trade ReviewThis competency framework was given to all the school principals of our school board to better assist them in their professional development, to help them improve student success. This book is an essential basic tool to better understand transversal skills in supervision. -- Esther Lemieux, Director General, Navigateurs School Board
It seems essential to me that school principals build a conceptual and theoretical framework to consolidate their practices in pedagogical supervision. This book provides a facilitative structure, gives a direct access to quality information and serves as a solid foundation to build upon! -- Micheline Dion, consultant in the training of school principals
