Supervision: A Redefinition

Sergiovanni and Starratt bring to light wonderful ideas for supervision during the next century. They force the reader to consider doing away with school and evaluations as we currently know them. They suggest moving away from evaluation and instead replacing it with healthy, supportive, and collegial supervision. These are all great ideas based upon what we have seen occur in many business settings. The only problem I see with the authors' ideas is that one would have to basically recreate education as we currently know it in order to implement their vision of supervision. The change would have to be systemic all the way from the national level to the local levels. However, this may not be a bad thing. The authors have very enlightening ideas contained in a very thought-provoking book
