This fresh approach to supervision goes beyond the outmoded concept in which the principal rates the effectiveness of teachers. A first-of-its-kind, Instructional Leadership brings principals and other instructional leaders up to date on the current theories of teaching and learning, as well as the practical curriculum applications of these perspectives. Using a learning-centered approach that emphasizes making decisions that support student learning, the authors address issues critical to the teaching and learning process: student differences, learning, student motivation, teaching, classroom management, assessing student learning, and assessing and changing school climate and culture. The 5th Edition incorporates the findings of more than 450 new studies and analyses to keep readers up to date on current research, trends, and issues in teaching and learning, including a revised section on technology leadership.
