School Leadership and Instructional Improvement

This is the first book to take a comprehensive look at exactly what school leaders (principals, vice-principals, department chairs, master teachers, etc.) do when they engage in instructional leadership. Using cases and frequent examples from elementary, intermediate, and secondary schools, the book discusses seven key areas of responsibility: Teacher supervision and evaluation, staff and professional development, instructional management and support, resource management, quality control, coordination, and troubleshooting.
