Supervision, supervision, supervision.... big topic everywhere and even in NJ (where I live and work). What's the magic formula? data. data, data, data, data........ Sure the decision making process involves a review of the literature and gathering your own research but great teaching comes from within. On a recent visit to our middle school by the NJ "Schools to Watch" co-chairpeople, they mentioned school culture 5 times in their interview with a local tv station.
Create a place where people want to work and students want to attend and that translates into better teaching and learning.
Manage yourself, lead others or motivate yourself and inspire others. Of course walkthroughs and feedback offer a reflection that every educator should have in their thought process but school culture matters. Professional development, collaboration, and teaching strategies grow from a positive environment that includes everyone.
