Instructional Supervision
‘.., work with teacher in ways to promote lifelong learning skills; inquiry, reflection, collaboration and a dedication to professional growth and development.’
“Glickman [1981].., ‘the goal of instructional supervision is to help teachers learn how to increase their own capacity to achieve professional learning goals for their students“
“a supervisor’s style either enhances or diminishes teacher’s abilities to engage in learning that is developmentally appropriate”
Sally J. Zepeda 2007
