Increasing Reflective Instructional Decision Making by Clinically Supervising Teachers Using Telecommunications.
O'Neill, Adrienne
Clinical supervision is a commonly accepted model used by supervisors of local school district teachers. Schools of Education at Harvard University (Massachusetts), the University of Virginia, and the University of Kansas, among others, have initiated clinical supervision projects using e-mail and the Internet, and have also created problem-solving networks open to pre-service teachers, beginning teachers, cooperating teachers and college supervisors. What has been learned with pre-service teachers can be applied to local school districts. With telecommunications, greater opportunities are provided for teacher reflective decision making; formative feedback from supervisors; joint supervisor and teacher problem solving; acquisition of lesson plans and student project ideas from numerous sources; and the improvement of instruction.
