GED-650 Principles & Practices of Supervision
This course is designed to provide future school supervisors with the skills knowledge and experience to observe, mentor, collaborate, counsel, and support teachers in the classroom. Several currently researched theories of staff supervision will be used as models to maximize teacher learning and to optimize the learning opportunity for their students. The national INTASC-based standards for beginning teachers, national specialty organizational standards, the Highly Qualified Teacher Requirement of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation, the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), and the New Jersey Professional Standards for School Leaders will provide the foundation for supervisor's training. Principles and problems of supervision will be explored as well as the varied roles of the supervisor in school districts.
