The Skillful Leader: Confronting Mediocre Teaching		35,000 SOLD! $44.95
By Alexander D. Platt, Caroline E. Tripp, Wayne R. Ogden and Robert G. Fraser
© 2000
The knowledge and/or performance of mediocre teachers is neither substantive and skilled enough to help most children learn nor poor enough to warrant a move toward dismissal. All children, however, deserve expert instruction from every teacher. The Skillful Leader presents a tool kit of field-tested strategies that supervisors and evaluators can use to identify and improve mediocre teaching. It includes a comprehensive series of framing questions to help the evaluator isolate performance strengths and weaknesses and examples of observation and summary evaluation reports. It also contains steps and strategies for designing improvement plans where the responsibility for change rests with the teacher. Using case studies, legal notes and a model contract, assessment tools, and personal accounts of leaders in action, the authors show how even the most seemingly entrenched teacher can be helped.
