  In Roundtable Session: The Possibilities and Necessities of Supervision in the 21st Century

Abstract

The development of an active supervision process shared between leaders and teachers has strengthened professional learning and positively impacted teaching practice in support of student success within a collaborative culture of continuous learning. We report on the development of this shared process within the 2016-2017 school year within a high needs elementary school in a large urban school district. Professional capital across the school were strengthened when leaders and teachers collaborated to reflect on and discuss quality teaching practice and design based professional learning through the enactment of a shared supervision process based on ongoing observation, teacher reflection, and evidence-informed conversations.
