Description

This book provides school principals and those responsible for pedagogical supervision the necessary tools for their professional development, whether in formal (continuing education) or informal (self-taught) contexts. It presents for each knowledge, know-how, know-how and know-how to become two sections. The first, titled What the supervisors say, presents testimonials from a research-action-training project (Ministry of Education and Higher Education of Quebec, 2014-2017) which brought together 37 principals of two school boards in professional learning communities (PLCs) to discuss their pedagogical supervision practices in their school. This second section proposes self-assessments grids. The book is also punctuated with practical exercises and reflections to develop the targeted skills in supervision. This book is an essential reference for all supervisors. It presents experiences in teaching, research and training. It is a functional and practical guide to acquiring and consolidating pedagogical supervision skills.

Reviews

This competency framework presents practical means of professional development. It must be read and applied and should serve as a reminder to guide the know-how in pedagogical supervision. -- Esther Lemieux, Director General, Navigateurs School Board
This guide provides self-assessment grids, which are powerful tools, allowing school principals to reflect on their practices and self-regulate. The transition from theory to action is made easier and becomes inevitable. -- Micheline Dion, consultant in the training of school principals
