Leadership For Learning: How To Help Teachers Succeed

In a follow-up to his earlier book, Developmental Supervision, distinguished educator and author Carl D. Glickman provides instructional leaders, supervisors, principals, and teachers with practical guidance and insightful strategies to support teacher success and improve classroom teaching and learning. This book discusses structures of classroom assistance such as clinical supervision, peer coaching, critical friends, and action research groups; formats for observations including frameworks for teaching, questionnaires, samples of student work, and achievement data; and approaches to working directly with teachers—directive, collaborative, and nondirective. It offers scenarios illustrating interactions with teachers of diverse backgrounds and skill levels, along with useful information on summative and formative teacher evaluations. The book also includes forms and examples adaptable to various settings, a comprehensive resource list on topics like student work analysis, professional development, instructional leadership, and educator diversity. Going beyond supervision, it emphasizes whole-school improvement and offers advice and inspiration for instructional leaders committed to providing the best classroom experience for every student.
