Supervising Instruction
"... the author revisits the main theories of clinical supervision to reevaluate their role in teacher development for the contemporary, assessment-based classroom. Pajak overhauls his previous ideas, restructures the goals of clinical supervision, and organizes the book into distinct categories based on teacher psychological development. Pajak develops the theories and techniques into four distinct families of supervision, or 'psychological lenses' : Original/Clinical, Artistic/Humanistic, Technical/Didactic, and Developmental/Reflective. By dividing the content into these families, Pajak gives the supervisor the tools necessary to consider the teacher's psychological type before and during the clinical supervision cycle" -- Cover, p. 4.
