Effective Supervision Supporting the Art and Science of Teaching An overview by Olivia L. Boucher Robert J. Marzano Tony Frontier David Livingston Robert J. Marzano Tony Frontier David Livingston

Effective Supervision shows school and district- level administrators how to set the priorities and support the practices that will help all teachers become expert teachers. The focus is on developing a collegial atmosphere in which teachers can freely share effective practices with each other, observe one another's classrooms, and receive focused feedback on their teaching strategies

In the past expertise was thought of as a natural by-product of talent The authors have organized knowledge base into four related domains.  Domain 1: Classroom Strategies and Behavior  Domain 2: Planning and Preparing  Domain 3: Reflecting on Teaching  Domain 4: Collegiality and Professionalism The authors have organized knowledge base into four related domains.  Domain 1: Classroom Strategies and Behavior  Domain 2: Planning and Preparing  Domain 3: Reflecting on Teaching  Domain 4: Collegiality and Professionalism

Focused Feedback and Practice  Perspectives from Marzano and Ericcson.
