Supervision: “An organizational function concerned with promoting teacher growth, leading to improvement in teaching performance and greater student leaning” (Nolan & Hoover, 2008, p. 6).
Professional Development: “That which leads to improvements in teacher knowledge or practice, or in student learning outcomes (Jaquith, Mindich, Wei, & Darling-Hammond, 2010, p. 2).
The complex relationship and resulting system of use among these three terms when carefully organized, implemented, and evaluated can result in an educational institution's ability to:
- Increase the professionalism and scholarship of staff
- Increase the use of evidence-based strategies aligned with curriculum use, classroom management, and instructional delivery
- Increase teacher performance
- Increase student achievement
(Marzano, 2012)
The next few blog posts that I share will delve into information regarding the foundations of the supervision of curriculum and instruction, current and future trends of supervision, and an introduction to a curriculum and instruction appraisal model focused on increasing student achievement by increasing teacher performance through supervision.
