Technical Tasks of Supervision
According to Glickman et al. (2013), there are five technical tasks of supervision that are directly related to improved instruction. The five technical tasks of supervision have the potential to influence teacher growth and development. As supervisors assume responsibility of these tasks, teachers can then take an individual and collective responsibility for instructional improvement as supervisors and teachers strive to achieve the school's vision and goal towards improved student learning.
As your supervisor, I am providing these technical tasks in my efforts to assist with your instructional improvement.These tasks include the following:
I had the opportunity to interview four professions, two supervisors and two teachers, on what they considered to be the three most important tasks of supervision. After completing the interview, I compared and contrasted the supervisors and teachers responses. I then compared and contrasted all collected responses to Glickman et al. (2013) perceptions of the five tasks of supervision. The following tab labeled "Supervisory Interview" will highlight my findings relating to perceptions of supervisors and teachers most important tasks of instructional supervision.
