Supervision and Evaluation for Learning and Growth seeks to go beyond the current focus on student performance and instead aims to develop an evaluation system for learning and growth.
In this short and readable text, the authors initially focus on differentiating supervision and evaluation…. Supervision and Evaluation for Learning and Growth is an approachable and effective introductory text for educators transitioning into roles as supervisors and evaluators. The chapters are concise and clearly written, and the graphics add to the book’s information, rather than simply summarize the major points of each section. Perhaps one of the more valuable features of the book is the chapter case studies. These case studies present real world dilemmas that intersect with the major themes of each section. Examples include how to provide meaningful support to both tenured and non-tenured teachers, and taking over as a building principal in a school that has never had a meaningful evaluation system. Since the majority of the readers of a text like this will be students, these activities would serve as excellent prompts for learning activities and discussions…. Supervision and Evaluation for Learning and Growth is a concise and valuable evaluation guide for existing and future school leaders.
