Handbook of Instructional Leadership How Really Good Principals Promote Teaching and Learning
Author: Jo Blase, Joseph J. Blase
"A treasure trove of knowledge about instructional leadership. Rich descriptions bring to life such concepts as inquiry, reflection, collaboration, empowerment, and learning community. The authors enable the reader to encounter the spirit of schools where these ideas have become a reality." — From the Foreword by Stephen P. Gordo...  more », Southwest Texas State University This book is the first comprehensive study of how instructional supervision is actually practiced and how it affects teachers. The authors asked more than 800 K-12 classroom teachers how the best principals encourage teacher growth and professionalism. The answers provide in-depth coverage on how teachers and principals interact. The authors’ research proves that what principals say to teachers about teaching has a powerful effect, and that positive instructional leadership enhances students’ learning.Teachers offer words of advice for every principal who aspires to instructional leadership: Find out what works best to motivate your teachers, and use it! The bottom line here is encouragement. Principals will find out what they can do to dramatically enhance teaching in their schools. They’ll learn to:
  • Encourage teachers to continue their self-improvement efforts
  • Conduct effective instructional conferences with each teacher
  • Provide and participate in ongoing staff development
  • Encourage reflective practice by the entire staff
  • Provide feedback based on individual teachers’ needs
Make your staff the best it can be—a community of learners engaged in professional service to students. Get everyone working toward a collective "practice" of effective teaching. Talk with your teachers and make sure they understand that you know what they’re doing right. Stress reflective inquiry as an effective technique for growth. Practice real instructional leadership, and build a learning community of teachers and students.
