Book Overview

This work integrates the core instructional leadership tasks of all principals: supervision, evaluation, and professional development. The text demonstrates a hands-on approach grounded in sound theory and rigorous research. It provides both a conceptual frame and realistic exercises that today's principals and supervisors can use to improve their practice. The book highlights observation tools that focus on high-yield instructional strategies.
