The best known book in the field, Supervision: A Redefinition
is a research-based guide to the practice and philosophy
of supervision. Practical applications are supported by a
conception of supervision as moral agency, and the book
continues to promote a redefinition of supervision from a
traditional top-down hierarchy to a shared activity involving all
stake-holders in the school--including teachers, administrators,
and parents. The eighth edition continues a thirty-plus year
tradition of breaking new ground by reconsidering the field of
supervision in response to changing school contexts, policies,
and realities. The new edition shows even more clearly how
the book's ideas can be used to help supervisors improve
their effectiveness: practical suggestions abound.
