"The Handbook of Educational Supervision offers a view of the field of supervision as it has evolved to the present. Through this spotlight, we hope that the Handbook points the reader to the research, theory, and applications about supervision that have surfaced in the broader fields of educational leadership and teacher preparation to keep pace with what occurs in practice in preK-12 schools. This handbook is important because much of what we know about supervision rests between its theory and its applications in schools and systems that have provided fertile ground for supervision as we know it today"-- DESCRIPTION An authoritative guide to educational supervision in today’s complex environment
