Quality Teaching Through Professional Development

By: Allan A. Glatthorn, Linda E. Fox

This book is concerned with the conflict in United States schools between principals and teachers over teacher supervision. Many teachers are unhappy, regarding classroom supervision as a meaningless and intrusive ritual where all teachers—regardless of experience and competence—receive the same superficial treatment. The solution advocated by the authors includes a more individualized, less clinical form of supervision that draws upon the best of current research on teaching and team leadership.
