Mastering Coaching and Supervision

This practical volume offers administrators and teacher leaders advice on how to maximize the benefit of staff development programmes. The authors address three challenges: How and what trainers should observe in a classroom; how they should analyze these observations; and how they can translate observations into feedback which will encourage teachers to enhance their professional effectiveness.

Use these guides to form the basis of your staff development program. Here are tools to help teachers: 1. establish successful discipline techniques, 2. mentor and motivate inexperienced staff, 3. work with parents to solve behavior problems, and 4. train aides and classroom volunteers.
