Recommended: Report of teacher observation

After participating in the learning opportunities throughout this semester, I believe I have grown as a potential supervisor in numerous ways. Upon reflecting on the readings, discussions, and activities throughout the course, my original answers to the four essential course questions would reflect the additional insight that I’ve gained relating to supervision.
What are the roles and responsibilities of a supervisor? My original response to this question recognized that supervisors have the responsibility of ensuring that duties are performed properly, that the safety of personnel is protected, and that expectations are communicated to employees. However, I now understand what managing the proficiency of employees entails in more depth. …show more content…

How does a supervisor act as a teacher of teachers? My original answer stated that a supervisor acts as a teacher of teachers by observing their practice, evaluating student achievement, and providing feedback to teachers. The readings we did in our Glickman text provided me with more insight. In order to effectively support teachers in improving their instruction, supervisors must be aware of their own default supervisory style, and be capable of changing elements of their style based on the commitment, expertise, and needs of each individual teacher (Glickman, 2002, p. 44). Being a teacher of teachers includes getting to know each teacher, establishing a positive rapport with them, and planning the supervisory approach and course of action based on each teacher’s needs. How do supervisors use data to improve teaching and learning? I previously understood that data must be utilized to evaluate instruction, and improve teaching and learning. However, after participating in the project for this course, I now recognize that there are many different types of data that can be used to improve teaching and

    Supervision is an opportunity where supervisees are able to review and reflect on their work in order to do it better.

In a relationship of trust and transparency, supervisees talk about their work and through reflection and thoughtfulness learn from it and return to do it differently. Supervision is based on the assumption that

I believe that information provided in this course would assist them to be successful in these supervisory and consultant roles at their

Through some social interactions with my friends in elementary schools, I quickly descried that my appearances, such as my hair, eyes, and nose was different from my peers. For instance, my hair was a lot darker than most of my peers’ hair and the texture of my hair was different from most of them. “Grow out your hair” were phrases that lingered throughout my childhood days, where I had my hair at a very short length. Throughout my childhood, I longed to try to be a part of the dominant group in society such as the Caucasians, but I did not do anything to be a part of the bigger group in society. Instead,

    For my final placement in early childhood, I was placed in a preschool classroom where my role was to showcase my skills as an educator. I took on my placement supervisor’s responsibilities and managed many of the classroom activities, circles, and meals.
