Organizational Supervision

Catalog description

Principles and practices of supervision in schools related to instructional and support personnel. EDLDR 567 Organizational Supervision (3) "Organizational Supervision" focuses on principles and practices of supervision in schools related to instructional and support personnel. The rationale for this course is that organizational supervision is that aspect of administration that demands that the administrator focus on the instructional and non-instructional program as he/she facilitates the learning process. While the major topic in this course is the role of the administrator in the supervision of the organization, other considerations in this course are how to relate leadership, change, management, and evaluation to organizational supervision. Other topics include the nature of supervision and its place in the schools; the organizational environment for supervision; leadership behavior and supervisory effectiveness; a contingency approach to supervision; power, authority, and conflict in supervision; teacher motivation and supervisory effectiveness; and supervision and group effectiveness.
