Does fear or trust dominate relationships in your school's
classrooms? How well do supervisors listen to and respond to
teachers? How well do teachers listen to and respond to students?
How are problems identified and solved? Supportive Supervision in
Schools is a guide for teachers and administrators who want to
create good school climates and a school culture that encourages
professional growth and development among staff members. It uses a
conferencing method to allow teachers, administrators, and students
to discuss and reflect upon what they are doing inside the school
building. Old ideas about leadership models have not been supported
by empirical research and have not influenced the way school
leaders and teachers do their work. This book points to specific
skill areas that need attention. It specifies that the creation of
supportive environments occurs in weekly individual and group
conferences. The authors stress the importance of listening and
speaking so that messages are not distorted or misunderstood and
emphasize trust-building. Using actual examples, this work shows
how to construct supportive environments and how to identify and
resolve problems.
