This week I have been grading the final projects from the GW Supervision class. I am impressed by my students and the hard work and thoughtfulness they put into these finished projects. I was worried that an 8 week compressed course on Supervision just wasn't enough - but the end result shows me that maybe it was adequate. Kudos to my students in PG County!
I feel like you can't ever talk about supervision enough - and as administrators we are always improving our craft of providing feedback. We must stay up on practices and really, really, know and be able to articulate what makes good instruction. We cannot get fixed in one mindset and then continually provide the same feedback. We really must embody ongoing learning and development - otherwise, we are guilty of not getting out of the time machine. Our students are ever evolving - we have to keep up with them - and as instructional leaders, we have to prepare our teachers to keep up with (or ideally, stay ahead of) the curve for students!
