The course will study the ways in which principals can incorporate instructional leadership into
their organizational behavior and work with teachers to create instructional practices that raise
the level of teaching and learning in the classroom. Students will learn how to use aspects of
effective teaching strategies when working with teachers during the observation/walk-through
process. Students will apply new concepts and tools to the supervisory process and practice
coaching and feedback strategies. This course addresses the components of effective school and
teaching theories that lead to school improvement. Participants will develop professional development plans for individuals and schools. Various supervisory styles studied will include
clinical supervision, the Charlotte Danielson model, and differentiated supervision. By the end
of this course, participants should be able to distinguish between supervision, evaluation and
professional development.
