Supervisory Models that Encourage Growth
FIVE SUPERVISORY MODELS Models ground our practices and help us with intentionality and consistency
Contextual Definition (Fritz, 2003) An individual responsible for the supervision of teaching performance Peer coaching leaders Master Teachers Principals PSDS Superintendents University teacher educator s 1 Instructional Leader
A form of inquiry designed to: e ncourage reflection and analysis d evelop and test hypotheses about what is effective and why 1 Clinical Supervision
1 Clinical Supervision Planning Conference Classroom Observation/ Data Collection Analysis/Strategy Stage Post-observation Conference Post-conference Analysis Goal Setting Teacher prepares detailed lesson plan Observation Proper Collection of Data through Instrument Conceptualization Dialogue Establishes goals to be met next observation (Cook, 1996) (Goldhammer et al., 1993) (Cogan, 1973) Reflection Exercise for the Instructional L eader
e ncourages familiarization of influences affecting the teaching process. s upported by the Organizational Theory 2 Conceptual Supervision Individuals are unified by common set of standards They work together within a system of structure
Influences Affecting the Teaching Process environment l ife stage work load 2 Conceptual Supervision School Structure Organization factors Personal Factors colleagues administrators c lassroom climate s upport of colleagues d ecision making r ole conflict supervision t eaching assignment interpersonal c onceptual level intrapersonal e xperience in education k nowledge of the subject (Beach & Reinhartz, 1989) (Edmeirer & Nicklaus’s, 1999)
Focuses on the match of initial supervisory approach with the teacher or group’s developmental levels, expertise, and commitment 3 Developmental Supervision
Three types of Assistance Teachers with low conceptual thinking, expertise, and commitment Directive C ollaborative N ondirective Teachers with moderate level of abstract thinking, expertise and commitment (Glickman et al., 2001) 3 Developmental Supervision Teachers who think abstractly and demonstrate high expertise and commitment Instructional leader as the expert Allows the teacher to be in control Both instructional leader and teacher are working as a team
Matches supervisory styles with the teacher’s readiness level to perform a particular task 4 Contextual Supervision
Competence Vs. Confidence 4 Contextual Supervision Support Vs. Task TEACHER Instructional. Leader Extent of teacher’s Knowledge Skill Ability Degree of teacher’s Self-assurance W illingness Motivation Interest Amount of encouragement given to the teacher Amount of guidance provided in the subject matter (Ralph, 1998)
Level of Competence (Ralph, 1998) Four Quadrants of Leadership Style 4 Contextual Supervision Level of Confidence (2 nd Quadrant) Low Confidence; Low Competence LOW HIGH HIGH (1 st Quadrant) High Confidence; Low Competence ( 3 rd Quadrant) Low Confidence; High Competence ( 4 th Quadrant) High Confidence; High Competence Low Support; High Task Low Support; Low Task High Support; High Task High Support; Low Task
Particularly teacher-driven Allows instructional leader to be more of a mentor 5 Differentiated Supervision
Intensive Development Cooperative Professional Development Self-Directed Many instructional leader observations Independent teaching Mutually respectful process Focused on learning outcomes instead of teaching method Work together to facilitate professional growth Brief monitoring and unannounced classroom visit 5 Differentiated Supervision Administrative Monitoring (Glatthom, 1997) FOUR OPTIONS FOR DIFFERENTIATED SUPERVISON Works with small number of teachers having difficulty Works with more experienced teachers Works with teachers who prefer to work alone Focuses on what classroom problems must be addressed
Supervisory Options for Instructional Leaders (SOIL) Model Instructional Leader is more administrative and structured Rigidity of structure begins to diminish Supervision is teacher-driven (Hersey, 2001)
No model fits all. Often, some approaches are more or less suited to a particular situation. Hence, it is our challenge as instructional leaders to explore a variety of approaches to aide in the development of ALL types of teachers. Implications for Leadership Educators
