Leading the Learning: A Field Guide for Supervisors, Mentors, & Coaches addresses the following questions:
+ What do schools look like when they organize around a commitment to the achievement of high standards by all students? + What is my role in creating, implementing, and maintaining such a school? + What is the role of the supervision and evaluation process in promoting teacher growth and student learning?
An examination of the contexts in which high achievement takes place sets the stage for exploring best classroom practices to notice, suggestions to make, and reflective questions to ask in six performance areas, the use of multiple sources of data, and feedback options.
Leading the Learning is the instructional leader's field guide to use with Rutherford's Why Didn't I Learn This in College? and Instruction for All Students.
Includes CD-ROM with reproducible templates.
