Supervision of instruction

Description:

Both those who are beginners and those who have spent many years in studying the purposes and processes of administration may well be intrigued with this book. It deals with the heart of all efforts to provide a sound educational program. The title itself cuts through the core of the administrative enterprise. Administration always has had the responsibility of encouraging maximum accomplishment in both learning and teaching. This book is particularly focused on the administrative responsibilities of the instructional program. Many books in administration deal mainly with the non-instructional tasks, and many books in supervision deal with the non-managerial tasks. But both apparently deal with esoteric tasks which constitute ends rather than means. The refreshing and refreshingly different aspects of this book are the amalgamations of instructional and managerial concerns as integral parts of administration. Those who wish to question their own professional efforts will find in this book not only an incentive for increased purposeful activities, but also an opportunity to structure and appraise their own behaviors as instruments for instructional improvement. - Introduction / John Guy Fowlkes.
