- Summary:
-
Two issues that bear directly on the proficiency of teachers are teacher selection and teacher supervision. A theme common to both issues is that the key to attracting and retaining capable teachers lies in a transformation of teachers' work environment--replacing the bureaucratic model of schooling with the professional model. That transformation can be effected with the help of competent selection and supervision practices. The first part of this report summarizes pioneering studies that have examined the teacher selection process in school districts. It also explores support systems for beginning teachers and the role of school organizational structures in encouraging capable young teachers to remain in the profession. The second part of the report discusses collegial observation and feedback as a means of bringing quality instructional leadership to schools. Instructional leadership can be a collective activity, drawing on the strengths and expertise of more persons than just the principal. The report examines why such observation and feedback is difficult. It also considers some of the benefits of and approaches to collegial observation and feedback. A reference list is included. (PS)
