INTRODUCTION
The distinction between "Supervision" and
"Evaluation"
The word supervision is derived from the two words
"superior" and "vision". This implies a hierarchical relationship with the
supervisor having superior knowledge and power (Jonasson, 1993).
This image of supervision is inappropriate for the school environment, where ideally
teachers and principals work together collaboratively. More appropriate is a
definition that exemplifies a collaborative philosophy. But what does that mean
exactly? Take a close look at some job postings for a "supervisor of
instruction". Here is one in
Virginia . Here is
another from
Louisiana.
What do they have in common?
