Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces mindfulness as an approach for enhancing the supervision of teachers and teacher candidates. Drawing on empirical research and the welcoming of mindfulness in public school classrooms, the author makes the case for embracing mindfulness methods as a way to become more conscious of supervisory practices and “less reactive” and to enhance regularly enacted tasks, such as classroom observations, conference, and foster relationships and developing collegiality. In contrast to traditional models of supervision, the author reframes supervision as a present moment experience in which unlimited possibilities exist. Awakening to Educational Supervision: A Mindfulness-Based Approach to Coaching and Supporting Teachers provides specific techniques and exercises, such as mindfulness breathing and meditation, mindful walking, mindful note-taking, and deep listening, that can be embedded in supervision routines and practices. Additional notions furthering the mindful supervision approach are also addressed, including the role of intuition, mindfulness in relation to ethical and moral action within supervision, and mindfulness as a way to further building community among school stakeholders.

Book excerpt: A perennial challenge for educators, writes Nessel, is one that Plato addressed in The Republic: "how to avoid simply feeding students information and instead get them to use their innate capacities and think for themselves." The solution, Nessel says, is not to impose a specific curriculum or method of instruction on everyone, but to think creatively about the individual situations of students, in order to improve conditions for learning. In this book, she presents a range of perspectives on schools, teaching and learning from writers as diverse as Leo Tolstoy, Howard Gardner and Elaine Landau - all concerned with the development of inquiring minds and critical thinking abilities.

Book excerpt: In this exciting, new edition of Supervision That Improves Teaching, the authors have taken their reflective clinical supervision process to a new level and focused on the demands that diversity and technology have placed on the supervision cycle. The authors recognize that if supervision of instruction is to be successful, we must address these needs. Therefore, they have built this third edition around the context of diversity within a technological environment. Our new scenarios describe teaching and learning dilemmas for English Language Learners. An additional case study also highlights English Language Learners within the context of "Critical Friends" groups and new observation tools center on the diversity of our schools. Finally, suggestions abound for use of the book within a technological environment - from blogs and wikis to strategies for teaching a hybrid or completely online course. Sullivan and Glanz have also addressed the dilemmas of preserving meaningful supervision in an era of high-stakes testing and local, state, and national standards. The authors′ reflective clinical supervision model encourages and prepares educators to be thoughtful collaborators in improving classroom instruction. And they have extended the options for teacher observation to a thorough but manageable set of tools for standards-based supervision. Outstanding additions to the third edition include: - New scenarios, cases and tools focus on the need for differentiated instruction for diverse and exceptional populations in the schools - Use of this book to evaluate the technological environment in schools in areas such as distance learning, online training, blogging and research - The authors draw a clearer distinction between evaluation and supervision in this 3rd edition - The timeline for the Supervision cycle in Chapter 1 has been updated and revised - Observation Instruments in Chapter 3 have been revised to be more reader and user friendly - Strategies and observation tools for maintaining reflective supervision in a standards-based environment This bestselling approach continues to offer interpersonal tools for initiating and providing feedback on classroom observations, alternative approaches to common supervision practices, and the tools necessary for present and future educational leaders to develop dynamic conversations about learning between and among educators-the essence of what effective supervision is really about.

Download or read book Advancing Supervision in Clinically Based Teacher Education written by Rebecca West Burns and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supervision in teacher education is entering an exciting time. In the last decade, national reports calling for the transformation of teacher preparation have advocated for greater school-university collaboration and increased clinical preparation of teachers (AACTE, 2018; NCATE, 2010). Thus, institutions with teacher preparation should be increasingly concerned with the clinical component of their teacher certification programs (AACTE, 2010; 2018; NCATE, 2001; NEA, 2014). However, supervision in teacher preparation has historically been held in low regard, (Beck & Kosnik, 2002; Feiman-Nemser, 2001; The Holmes Group, 1986; Hoover, O’Shea, & Carroll, 1988; Soder & Sirotnik, 1990) even though research has shown that high-quality supervision promotes teacher candidate learning (Bates, Drits, & Ramirez, 2011; Burns, Jacobs, & Yendol-Hoppey, 2016; Darling-Hammond, 2014; Gimbert & Nolan, 2003; Lee, 2011). In fact, university supervisors “may be the most undervalued actors in the entire teacher preparation equation when one considers the knowledge, skills, and dispositions they must have to teach about teaching in the field” (Burns & Badiali, 2016, p. 156). Despite this research, the function of supervision has often been relegated to adjunct faculty or even removed the university-based supervisor altogether in some colleges/schools of education (McIntyre & McIntyre, 2020; NCATE, 2010; Slick, 1998; Zeichner, 1992, 2005). These practices are incredibly problematic for actualizing clinically based teacher education. Thus, the road to transforming teacher education must involve addressing such long standing misperceptions about what supervision is, what purpose it serves, and how it can be renewed from an afterthought to become the driving engine of high quality teacher preparation. Advancing Supervision in Clinically Based Teacher Education: Advances, Opportunities, and Explorations aims to elevate supervision and supervisors, as undervalued actors, by disseminating high-quality manuscripts on this critical area of study. The chapters in this book tackle the persistent issue of devaluing and marginalizing supervision in some institutions of higher education by sharing current research, illuminating challenges of supervising in the current high stakes accountability climate, and offering innovative ideas that can improve supervision in clinically based teacher education.
